It's not a graven image unless you worship the image. In the early days of Christianity, pictures of biblical scenes and of God as a way of telling the stories of the bible because very few were able to read.

Because we are human, when we pray, we can conjure an image of God in our head. The human mind doesn't think in blank terms.

You may be the odd ball.

"It's not a graven image unless you worship the image"

The second commandment is clear enough that a child can understand. You are not to make a graven image, or likeness and you are not to bow down to it or serve it.

---

Exd 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven 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:

Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

Exd 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Why is it people like YOU always have to disagree and end with an insult?
