Are statues like that part of the reason that Deuteronomy 5:8�9
("Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me")
has been eliminated from the Catholic version of the Ten Commandments?
It's tough to pray or meditate with out a icon of one's Deity which is probably why Catholics have them.
As a Pagan I don't have those restrictions.
