That alone aside from the morbidity of it, should be enough to take down your crosses and throw them out, but then as we open up the bible and read from it we see that Idolatry is forbidden.
Let's get you corrected since you lack the proper knowledge of the Christian life. You are corect, idolatry is forbidden according to the Word of God!!! But let's look at the word "Idolatry" which is the physical worship of an object as God.
Well my friend, just so understand this, Christians do not worship a cross, or look at an object as a God, they worship the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. If that cannot be comprehended, then truly, I feel sorry for you!

I have a question. Why worship physical encapsulations of Mary, the cross and Jesus (I don't know the type of Christain you are so correct me if I'm wrong)? Have you no understanding of the implications and reprocussions of this? Or do you believe that your faith is so strong that you are not susceptable to recieving negative inputs?
I'm not Christian but I love the Bible. I read it and I see what goes on and it seems like the entire point is missed with these figures.
*I'm here to discuss, I understand the depth of this type of questioning but I want to understand this better because I've talked about this before and many Christians were blind and couldn't give any logical reason for it..it's like they just accept it which is a sign of inflicted thought, not their own.
We worship the Son of God who died on the cross for our sins.

Definition of idol (Bible) : an image or object of a deity that is not God.
So by definition, you are worshipping an idol. It's not good enough to say "Oh well we know better...we don't really worship the idol".
I'm sorry but that's ridiculous to me. The Bible clearly states that this type of behaviour is extremely detrimental. The best question is why even have them? There's no need other than that of inverse.

That is exactly what the Pagan's did. You can't seperate that from Christians..in fact, they are using the exact same object! But you're eliteness makes it different? Pagan's get a bad rap because people don't see how the same darkness took over them as well..

and moreover YOU worship the cross put forward by Satan to show who is in charge...
and all the while YOU think you are worshiping something that is going to get you to heaven....LOL
