If the idol is made by it’s worshippers to
walk like an idol,
lay eggs like an idol,
fly like an idol,
waddle like an idol,
quack like an idol,
wear gold leaf like an idol,
generate bowing and scraping like an idol,
generate overconcuming attention, focus and thought life like an idol,
. . .
then, it must be a Petunia???
Please observe more carefully. You’re missing something vital.
What you’re missing is that the pagans BELIEVED the works of their hands were their gods. Catholics BELIEVE that there is only one God, and that Second Person of that God, Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, has a physical body. Catholics do not believe their icons and statues are gods.
