The OT says not to make graven images and worship them. I see where the Virgin Mary is often dressed up in little clothes and jewelry and paraded thru the streets. Explain that one. Does the statue drink milk from a saucer too?

God commanded that folks light incense before statues in the temple.

methinks you lack an understanding of what the difference is between a statue and a graven image.
