Idolaters worship their idols, and almost they associate their idols with God Almighty.. they follow their traditions and do like what their fathers did and believe as their ancestors believed.
When the messenger of God talks to them, they do not agree with his teachings and prefer to keep to their traditions rather than accepting the truth of God and His messenger.
Quran 5: 104, which means:
(When it is said to them; "Come to that [statements] which God has revealed [in the Quran], and [come] to the messenger", they say: "Enough for us are [the traditional ways] that we found our fathers following."
[So God rejected their words:]
What! Even though their fathers did not know anything [of the religion] nor were they guided [to the truth?])
