He has undoubtly seen Catholics kneeling before statues and praying to them, or seeming to. According to the Bible that is wrong. So why attack him for his Christian beliefs? Kneeling before idols and worshiping them is wrong. Praying before a statue of someone who actually lived and is now with God is not.

Particularly when you know that that person you are asking to pray FOR you is not divine, has never been divine and is not God.
Some people have trouble understanding the difference between honoring and worship. That's a sad thing.
Sadder yet is when they want to come around and impose their improper assumptions and faulty knowledge on other people, without even being asked.

Kneeling before idols and worshiping them is wrong. Praying before a statue of someone who actually lived and is now with God is not.Chapter and verse please? El Cid already quoted Exodus 20:4-5 showing this practice to be in error. Just curious if I has missed some scripture that shows this to be O.K.

"Kneeling before idols and worshiping them is wrong. Praying before a statue of someone who actually lived and is now with God is not."I still have not heard you reply as to your authority for this doctrine.
