The linguistic trap you are setting requires nullification of the Second Commandment.
Do you really want to go there?

I’m not interested in traps or linguistics, but truth: what makes an idol an idol?

I should remind that this is in response to an accusation. The reason for going here is as I stated to begin with:

One would need to know clearly what an idol is in order to be taken seriously when accusing others of idolatry.

And, I should have also added, that this was in response to another poster’s allegation.

If it doesn’t apply, then, well, it doesn’t apply. We can discuss if you’d like, but it’s your choice.
