Is anyone who looks at it guilty of idolatry? Anyone who walks past it? Only the painter who created it? Anyone who doesn't destroy it?

Anyone who believes it depicts God and gives it credence.
Now tell me. Would you destroy those and all statues just to be on the safe side or are they too valuable to you?
