Do these Orthodox realize that many evangelicals regard their statues and icons and devotions to Mary and the saints as “idolatrous”?

To finish my point, will they get rid of those alleged idolatries as well? And do they realize that Muslims regard their divinization of Jesus as idolatrous? Will they dump that too?

Orthodox do not have statues, but the Catholics so.

As for icons and devotion to the Theotokos (Mother of God), the fundamentalist Protestants are missing centuries of Councils that supported these practices!!

I was just discussing that with an ex-catholic about an hour ago...
