    I know everyone here loves being edgy, but idolatry is forbidden, and Sodom and Gomorrah was about not following God’s word. (PS I am angry the homophobes have co-opted a story about Charity and Faith)

      What about all the numerous catholic saints that are idolized af? They literally have idols of them all over churches and homes.

        Growing up Baptist, this was one of the reasons they differentiated themselves from Catholics.

      Are you saying that because idolatry is forbidden no Christian could engage in it, even unwittingly? Because it sounds like that is what you’re saying and it’s pretty obvious that isn’t true. Tons of people who call themselves Christians idolize the shit out of Trump for some insane reason I’ll never understand.
