It doesn’t take anything more than physical eyes to see people prostrating themselves in front of pagan idols, such as Randall described, and know that this practice is demonic.

A chip on Randall’s shoulder? Did you read of his broken hearted examination of his own church once he returned home? He is broken over idolatry in every life he comes across - including his own.

Regarding Catholic iconography - is this not a violation of the command to NOT make graven images for people to worship?

"Demonic." That's a very large word, which you toss around quite a bit.

You assume much, and in your choice of words you make Christianity look ugly and hateful. I know a good many Catholic Christians -- and as a group they seem to be a lot more in touch with Christ's command to "love one another" than the folks who oppose Catholics for their "idolatry".

Let me suggest that you do much more damage than good when you deal out this medieval claptrap.

We don’t “worship” the icons.
Sorry for your ignorance.

Read that same page in the Bible and notice the instructions for carving, engraving, and ornation of the Tabernacle.
