Try as I might, I couldn't find a picture of Catholics praying to an icon of Jesus...No surprise there...But I did find a picture of Catholics worshiping the 'little black Jesus' in Manilla...
As we can see, there is no discernible difference when worshiping the wafer or worshiping Mary or a dead saint...
Veneration isn't a real word...It's a Catholic word...Veneration doesn't exist outside of the Catholic religion...It was invented to dupe the people into believing that you are not worshiping Mary and the saints when it is exactly the same as when you worship the wafer...
Look at the pictures...You worship Mary the same way, with the same actions and words that you worship Jesus with...
And every picture you see is a direct violation of the Commandments of God...
You may call it 'veneration' to soften the blow, but it is worship all the same...

Are the Protestants praying before beds worshipping beds, just like they worship Jesus?
Why/why not?
BTW, I have pictures to prove it. It happens. Don’t deny it.
I got it all figured! I am a first rate scholar I am!! Yeah! Honey get me a another beer! I am talking to those Catholics again. Please blow off some dust on that bible so I can read it to em!
