“There was once a gentile woman who was very ill, who vowed: If this woman recovers from her illness, she will go and worship every idol in the world. She recovered and proceeded to worship every idol in the world.
When she came to Peor, she asked its priests: How is this one worshipped? Said they to her: One eats greens and drinks beer, and then one defecates before the idol. Said she: Id rather that this woman return to her illness than worship an idol in such a manner.” (Talmud, Sanhedrin 64a)
