Haven’t any of you assholes ever heard of of the 2nd Commandment??
BTW: this goes for all of you morons with a statue of Mary, Jesus, or fucking collectible plate of Elvis that cries blood. ITS NOT REAL!!! Why would God, make the fucking commandments, and then create a fucking statue of chocolate for you morons to put candles around and pretend to have it heal your illness?
That, like people being stupid, is why everybody does everything.
And it is also why everything is because of God…except the bad stuff. That was someone else. God’s in charge, after all; but it wouldn’t be fair to hold Him responsible, now would it?
I’d definitely say that between the 2nd commandment and the graven images thing, these people out to know better. However, if it can be used to generate cash, Creflo Dollar says it’s OK. As long as you don’t break the 7th. Right? RIGHT?
There’s a difference between making an image to remember and honor someone and worshipping the image. There are crucifixes in a Catholic church to remind you of the crucifixion and what it means. Nobody but nobody worships the crucifix. Same with Mary, there are statues to honor her but nobody worships the statue. So if you build a statue of Mary and for whatever reason she chose to reveal herself by making that statue do supernatural things, it has nothing to do with violating the 2nd commandment.
