Why the obsession with what I think? I would suggest that you clear your issues with God not man. If what God said is problematic for you perhaps you should look to Him for answers instead of man. If you simply need justification for your actions rather than what God says perhaps the RCC is the best resource for you.

Because, again: before we decide someone is guilty of idolatry we should be very clear on precisely how we determine that.

Posting Holy Scripture does not absolve or relieve us of how we apply it rightly or wrongly. Particularly when it involves accusing another of violating the First Commandment.

Before we do this, we should be clear in how we distinguish an idol - what is and what isn’t and why.

Your discussion here indicates you are quite uncomfortable in doing so.

I would suggest that, if so, one should also be uncomfortable accusing another of violating the First Commandment.
