***sigh***

The verses in Scripture say *bow down to*. They don’t say *do not worship* images. They say *bow down TO*

I have no doubt that that implies worship as well, however, telling me that Catholic don’t *worship* images doesn’t address the fact that they *bow down to* them, before them, whatever, in direct violation of the commands of God.

If God says not to bow down before or to an image, there’s not much getting around what people do with their bodies when in front of these images, no matter what they claim their hearts are doing.
