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.

Statues in the temple? Other than the angels on the mercy seat, what would that be?

And not just graven images-- whole temples called by their names

Ahhhh, . . . and now . . . pretend . . .

we are standing before THE FATHER . . . who happens to have the reconstituted original 10 Commandment tablets on His desk rather prominently displayed . . . .

and

HE says,

NOW, TELL ME KAWAII, JUST WHAT WERE EACH OF THOSE ITEMS ON THAT LIST OF DIFFERENCES between a statue and a graven image?

and kawaii begins to shuffle a bit . . .

and

THE FATHER SAYS

SPEAK UP, KAWAII, I want all in the universe to hear your rationalization loudly and clearly . . .

and kawaii shuffles some more . . .
