Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Incense is scary to a lot of ex-Catholics, I'm not sure why."
The incense you bring me is a stench in my nostrils!
Isa 1:13, NLT "The three best words that best describe you,
Are as follows, and I quote
Stink!
Stank!
Stunk!"
Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch 
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah [Isa. 1:10].
"Now God is spelling it out. The whole problem is spiritual apostasy."
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats [Isa. 1:11].
"God specifies His charges against His people. He has put His hand upon a definite thing, and He is going to prove that particular point in which they are wrong. He puts His finger on the best thing in Judah, not the worst. He shows them what is exceedingly wrong. Israel has a God–given religion and a God–appointed ritual in a God–constructed temple, but they are wrong in that which represented the best. They are bringing sacrifices and going through the ritual according to the letter of the Law, but their hearts are in rebellion against God. Their religion is not affecting their conduct. Frankly, that is a problem among believers today. A great many of us have reached the place where we have a form of godliness, but we deny the power thereof." McGee, J. V. (1991).
