You know, it really doesn't matter what YOU think. God has always been very honest in his Word about wanting His children to do things His way. Read Num. 15:32-36.
Also consider this: Ex. 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any raven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Most people would say they don't have any idols or statues in their house , but God isn't talking about just idols you make. According to Rom. 1:21-25 He is also talking about the imagination of our heart with which we make the gods we want.
Some people have a god that is a good god. He is so loving, kind and wonderful he just lets anyone and everyone do whatever they want. So you can go ahead and live however you want and when you die and stand before God, He is going to say Forget it, just come on in.
What you have done in thinking this way is made God in your own image. You have made an idol of your own. God says He condemns this. Just as he did about picking up sticks on the sabbath in the Numbers 15:32 verses.
