  • Idol: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.

    I agree that they probably weren’t intended to be idols, but pictures of Jesus, Mary, the cross, etc are just objects of worship.

    Jesus’s message of universal love goes beyond the Christian religion, which feels like it only exists to promote itself instead of the values that Christ promoted.

    If Jesus were alive today I doubt he would care about the destruction of religious symbols. He’d probably say something like “Why are you concerned with a symbol when you have brothers and sisters who need help? If you really want to exalt God, go out and do His work.”

    Like, if people truly believe God is the alpha and omega do they really think they need to get offended on his behalf?

    Christianity has done a great job of putting God in a tiny box called “religion” and taking away all his power to the point where dinosaurs, evolution, and science are able to shake their faith.

    God/love/the universe is nonsense, and we get to spend our whole lives trying to figure that nonsense out.
