Ah... as I was typing, two more examples came up:
1) “caww” was nice enough to give an example of the word “idol” when speaking of Catholic veneration of statues (see #195... complete with comparisons to pagan sculptures of deities).
2) YOU, of all people, were kind enough to give one other example, where you referred to the same Catholic statues as “haveing a voodoo doll air”... and only two posts BEFORE you accuse me of “mind-reading”! Wow... now THAT’s chutzpah!
I hope you’ll forgive me if I don’t take your accusation seriously, and if I restrict my chatting to those who want to discuss substance (and not lob flame-grenades). No hard feelings; it’s just that life is too short to argue with those who’ve offered iron-clad proof of resisting any and all input which they don’t like.
Then what's THIS post all about?

It would also be a bit easier to believe if you and your confreres, after seeing a bit of Catholic thus-and-so which is "not mentioned in the Bible", were to shrug and say, "Meh... not required, but believe it if you like." When anything OTHER than Scripture (and by that, you mean the expurgated 66-book Protestant Bible) is used, and you and your company respond with primal howls of "GASP! Agh! Blasphemy! Idolatry! Heresy! False Church! Non-Christians! BeastofRevelationWhoreOfBabylon666!!! Moses, gather your stones!!"
