Idols

Quite a few texts on idols actually. It seems that god has a real issue with this. Who can blame him? In my opinion, it is definitely shite television.
The first reference I found on biblegateway.org was Exodus 20:3-5: "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Hm, I suppose the Flying Spaghetti Monster is fine then, since it does not take the form of anything you would actually see flying, walking or swimming.
Exodus 34:17 then tells us "Do not make cast idols." Again, this leaves a lot of leeway. Cast as in pouring a liquid such as plaster or hot metal onto or into something, so that when it hardens it has the same shape as the model. I suck at arts and crafts, so no worries there, god! Leviticus, as always, simply confuses me. I can't quite explain it, but this book provokes a lot of questions. Lev 17:7 to entertain and to serve: They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols to whom they prostitute themselves. This is to be a lasting ordinance for them and for the generations to come.' Goat porn? And yes, that picture is a sheep, I know that much for a city girl.

The clearest would be Leviticus 26:1: 'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.' We will skip the babbling about a stone, I do not see myself Rodin-ing my way though this, but this verse informs us that anything you would call an idol or treat like an idol is an idol and that is erm.... a bad thing.
According to the Vatican: "There are a great many kinds of sins. Scripture provides several lists of them. The Letter to the Galatians contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit: "Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God." ( Gal 5:19-21; cf. Rom 1:28-32; 1 Cor 9-10; Eph 5:3-5; Col 3:5-8; 1 Tim 9-10; 2 Tim 2-5. ) Find out for yourself here: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s1c1a8.htm.

Alright, let's get to work. Eternal damnation waits for no-one. As I said before, I suck at arts and crafts, so I decided to spend a few minutes on Paint. Please find below, my idol. It is a cross between Medusa and something pink, you can clearly see I was inspired by something wicked.
