Images are dangerous. Yes, but not in the way you mean. They can invite parody, they can inflame the feelings of iconoclasts. But Bibles are icons to many protestants, so are the scrolls of the Torah. They represent the world of God. You would not be happy if South Park were to depict the pages of the Bible being used as toilet paper.

Good, I hope that you are calling on the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves and Washington Redskins to remove their images from their helmets, the native americans think its disrespectful to their culture, and their culture is their religion. Personally, I could care less, I'm Irish, I put up with Notre Dame having a drunken little elf wanting to fight as their mascot, such is life.

None of it has an effect on me as a Christian. People will do whatever they feel to protect their lifestyle whether it be right or wrong in their mind. I take no offense, to the contrary I have a heartfelt sorrow for their spiritual condition. They feel by going on the attack it would somehow make them feel better about themselves in this lost condition. In due time they will have to account for every idle word and action on judgment day and their eternal souls know it.

Apostasy is more relevant a subject, or should be to the person attempting to defend whatever their faith may be. What are they defending anyhow? Is God that small He needs defending? Trust God, He is not mocked, and by His Word, "a double edge sword" will cut to the quick anything secular or religious thats found outside of His Truth.

Have a blessed new year my friend
