I’m not sure I know what “idolatry” is. On the surface, it would appear to be the worship of images in place of, or representing, the divine. Aren’t there some religions that practice this - I’m thinking of Hinduism, for example. In what sense is what they do “destructive to the human spirit”? Hinduism, from my brief experience travelling in Asia and my encounter with friends who are followers of the Hindu faith, seems to be one of the most peacable and joyous of Earth’s many religions - I wish more people could share in their spirit. So have I got this wrong?
