I wonder how many folks actually revere/adore some of these physical symbols vs. just the ideas that make them relevant. It is probably mostly for the ideas, but some seem to think they need to revere the statue of Mary and that it is a sin to defile it.

"I wonder how many folks actually revere/adore some of these physical symbols vs. just the ideas that make them relevant".....as in the claim of "sacredness" for mormon temple garments. They are not to be seen by "gentiles" and are credited with powers of protection by many mormons.

"It is probably mostly for the ideas, but some seem to think they need to revere the temple garment and that it is a sin to defile it." Disposal of worn temple garments must be done in an approved manner to avoid this "defilement".

The wearing of the cross is in memoriam of the sacrifice of Jesus...a much more meaningful event than hiding the body by wearing of underwear.
