<<It's not a form of avodat Hashem?  I think it can be.  If it isn't, 
maybe that's something to work on.>>

I hate to flog a dead horse, but one more comment on this.

If you think, as I do, that the categories of mitzvah and aveirah are 
central to Judaism, this is a a troubling attitude.  If a change in 
perspective can transform a neutral act into a virtuous act, why can't 
it also change a prohibited act into a virtuous act?
