You may be confused by the presence of statues in Catholic churches. Don't be. They are merely images of loved ones, like the photographs in your wallet.
If you have mis-read the commandment against idolatry then this seems a good time to correct your mistake. We are allowed to make images. We are not allowed to worship them.
But I know that some FReepers read the Bible and aren’t in the habit of using reductio ad absurdum to correct their mistakes.
For their benefit: if any FReeper actually believes that the simple act of making images is blasphemy then they should - as an act of Christian witness - spend the rest of their lives downvoting cat videos on Youtube.
**downvoting cat videos on Youtube. **
LOl! I hate all those cat videos I get.
“You may be confused by the presence of statues in Catholic churches. Don’t be. They are merely images of loved ones, like the photographs in your wallet”
You forget that I was a Catholic, so this spin doesn’t work on me. I don’t kneel before images of my loved ones, nor do I offer prayers, incense and devotion to them. That’s for God alone, and no one else. Nor does any human spirit have the ability to be present with every believer in the world simultaneously, since these would be divine abilities, and therefore they would be gods.
