I guess you can't design any really cool cars, cause people tend to worship them.

Hay Havoc how about answering my question now? Since you can't make images of people shouldn't photos, and tv, and films all be band?
Oh, wait, you finally did ask one that applied to everyone didn't you? Think about that and then ask yourself if you feel like a twit yet? Wasn't intending to be mean; but, it illustrates a point quite well. If you need a flashlight, I can post some highlights. I've been keeping track of the answers I gave and the questions asked. "What do you think" and such.. Go back and read the line of questions and answers up til now. You all see what you want. Much as Dignan in his response in 899 to another issue.
You Got close to the truth in your arguing because you assumed that what I stated as an application to myself was being globally applied to everyone. You still didn't quite get it right. And you still can't see the problem you have, unfortunately. I tryed to draw it out.
If it's wrong for me. It's wrong because I have a problem with it. That's a biblical truth that you all missed (strike 1). If another does something that can cause his brother to stumble that is sin (strike 2). And more specific and to the point, the images of Mary and the saints were made to be adored, sang to, prayed to, etc. They have and do serve this function. By definition, they were made for the purpose that is described by the 2nd commandment. Pelayo got closer to that, I think, than anyone; but, without thinking about how it applied to him.
It wasn't a perfect excersize. But, you all reacted as expected. Dave better than expected. Beligerant without discernment. To the credit of my fellow brothers here and without prompting all of them were silent. Perhaps not for the reasons I suspect; but, it shows somebody was paying attention. Flame away.
