It's when we start equating God with that crucifix on the wall, or Jim Cavaziel on The Passion of the Christ that the icon has became an idol.

I would suggest you Google on "st joseph real estate" and then say that iconography aren't idols within the Church. (I will admit these are Catholic website.)

"Never judge a philosopy by its abuse," and never judge a church by the misstatements from popular piety.

Harley, you've gotten to "know" me fairly well here. Do you honestly think that the icons I have in my home and office are idols?
