Besides the fact that He detests idols. Hey, if you want to fall at the foot of an idol, don’t ask me to be a part of it. I won’t fall in front of an idol, wood, stone, ceramic or ortherwise. Just a sampling: Leviticus 19:4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:3-5 (in Context) Leviticus 19 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations

in every case that you cite, God condemned the idols because people were praying TO the idol instead of praying to God....Catholics use statuary to decorate buildings...they are works of art as are pictures....Some of the worlds most beloved works of art are sculptures....Enjoy them for what they are....decorations.

The command is to not bow down to them, which Catholics do.

Do I need to post images of that AGAIN? Or the prayers TO saints FOR things, like the prayers to Mary?

I don't believe that.

But since they lure people into praying to them, lighting candles to them, and bowing down to them, they need to be removed as they are drawing people into sin.

Buildings can be decorated beautifully without idols statues to pray to, light candles to, and bow down to.
