It is right to warn people against the sin of idolatry when they are committing it. But calling Catholics idolaters because they have images of Christ and the saints is based on misunderstanding or ignorance of what the Bible says about the purpose and uses (both good and bad) of statues.
The bottom line is are they worshipping another God, represented or thought to literally be that object? N4S pointed to more practical ways idolatry is rampant today.
So your raining on the thread parade of throwing these guys in hell can, well, go to h... nevermind.

If you don't think bowing to statues/candles praying to mary or saints is not idolatry then I don't what to say. Of course, many things can become idols but praying to anything but God is idolatry.
BTW I wasnt refering I was refering to catholics not these people.
