You didn't answer any of my questions...
Are you actually equating "gazing upon a crucifix" with idol worship?
You shall not make a graven image for yourself, or any likeness in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth; you shall not bow to them, and you shall not serve them; for I am Jehovah your God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third and on the fourth generation, to those that hate Me;
(Exodus 20:4-5 LITV)
