*blinks* Here's my post to which you're replying.

I genuinely have no quarrel with your religious practices. I am merely commenting upon the human condition and our ability to idolize anything and everything. There is not a single denomination/flavor of the faith that has escaped the propensity to unfortunately idolize those icons/resources which they believe draw them closer to God. I guess the admonition is that we should periodically examine our practices and determine if our relationship with God would still stand were we not able to interact with Him in context of said practices/icons/resources.

To repeat - this is not a commentary on your faith per se - it is a commentary on the human condition. If you are taking it personally then your issue is not with me it's with God.

No, I have an issue with you talking about others who "idolize those icons." I do take such baseless implications against my faith personally.

As to the issue with God, He's already spoken about "bearing false witness." Words you should heed before commenting on your perceptions of the behaviors of other Christians.
