The Cherubim on the top of the Ark were IDOLS???

Not sure what you are asking here. Are the cherubim idols? Of course not. Did I say that they were? No. Might some confuse a statue with an idol? Well, as your question suggests, it appears that you do.

Moses serpent, which no one was SUPPOSED to pray to was an idol? It became an idol, that was why God orderd it down!

Not sure what you are asking here. Was the serpent an idol? As long as it was used as the Lord commanded, of course not. Did I say that it was an idol? Obviously not. Did the serpent have salvational powers? Clearly yes. Was the use of the serpent necessarily idol worship? Obviously not. Might some confuse a statue with an idol? Well, as your question suggests, it appears that you do.

No one worships those little statues of Mary as God, either,

Hey, some progress! I'm glad to see that you recognize that Catholics don't worship statues.

but, they use little statues of Mary, or Crucifixes to aide them in worship, just like pagans do, and THAT is an idol.

Again, you are confusing 2 separate concepts: idols and statues. Your confusion seems to arise out of a lack of understanding of pagan practices. Pagans during the time of the early Israelites would actually worship a natural object as a god.

Unfortunately, such fundamental confusion leads to the unbiblical practice of banning statues in worship contexts.

For your "argument" to hold, all natural objects would have to be banned if they aided worship. Say, you don't use a printed Bible as a worship aid, do you? Tsk, tsk.
