“This is why Scripture says do NOT make any graven image.”

Like that of ol’ Geo. Washington on the dollar?

[chuckles]

He's not saying you can't make artwork. Worshiping a statue or a picture of a so called god is different. If I was going to worship Washington, I would worship Benjamin too.

Look at it this way, no one knows what God or Jesus looks like. So you make a statue of something that sort of resembles a man. Then you stand it up in church and call it God. That's just stupid. No one is saying George is a god. I don't know how you can get clearer than "Don't make a graven image."

Jews have artwork, but at the same time they don't even dare to put the "o" in G-d out of reverence.
