propaganda to see that it is the mental masturbations

You call yourself Christian? My "dialogue" with you on this forum is over. Your witness as a so-called "Christian" has been completely eliminated with this abusive language.

I often wondered why a Christian" would use such a screen name as yours. Now I realize you are not a Christian in any manner. Good day. May God have Mercy on you.

You are opting for the typical childish behavior of refusing to address a MAJOR very simple issue by whining about being insulted and running away.

EXODUS 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
EXODUS 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

2132. "The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, 'the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype,' and 'whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it.The honor paid to sacred images is a 'respectful veneration,' not the adoration due to God alone: Religious worship is not directed to images in themselves, considered as mere things, but under their distinctive aspect as images leading us on to God incarnate. The movement toward the image does not terminate in it as image, but tends toward that whose image it is.

Where in the Holy Bible did Jesus or any of the Apostles teach anyone to "venerate" idols, images or whatever term you prefer?

I was reading "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" by Stephen R. Donaldson when I started computering about to years ago, it has NOTHING to do with anything else. I've thought about changing it but I haven't because it is so funny to see stupid statements about it like yours.
