No, really, CB -- you think these are pictures of idolatry? You seriously think these people are adoring figurines, American flags, crossed sticks, and electric lights?
Metmom --- is that your view, too?

Thats not what I said Mrs. Don. I took those images to mean that because others did it we shouldnt condemn only the Catholic Church. Or, you meant that they were just using images and trying to get us to believe that is all that Catholics do.
Well, no one else kneels before the image and asks the image to do something for them. Do I think they were worshiping images? NO You seem to have made an assumption that the man in the graveyard was praying rather than just contemplating the life of the deceased and missing that person. You said those kids sitting on the floor listening to a speaker were kneeling. You comparisons were not what you had hoped Im thinking. And now your understanding of what I meant is in total error as well.
