I agree.

If it gives the appearance of worshipping a goddess, then it is wrong.

That was precisely the argument of Paul regarding eating meat offered to idols. Sure, we're free to do what we want, but giving the appearance of idol-worship upends weak souls. He goes on to say that idols are nothing, but that there are demons behind them.

Paul saw a thin line between the spiritual world and this world.

"Paul saw a thin line between the spiritual world and this world."

As an Orthodox Christian, I can't say that I believe there is any line at all, Padre. And that's what makes heresy and modernism so very, very, very dangerous.
