Under Christianity idols are also forbidden. Something about idols being perversions rather than holy. It's just one of those things out of many Christians seems to ignore...

You know how we tell the story about brutally murdering the Son of God? We want to put that on display, all the time, in His House, so He never ever forgets.
God is love!
Catholicism lore and practices are actually pretty metal if you think about it.
Carry a figure of the dying tortured son of god in a little chain on your neck. Nailed to a cross, speared through the chest, and with a fucking spine crown.
Spikes and a skull tattoos have NOTHING on Catholic paraphernalia.
Then literally eat his flesh and blood in a ritual to commemorate his death.
This is Known. Goth fashion is basically a very involved parody of what Catholic aristocrats used to wear (this is why you get all the “sexy nun” stuff too)
White Jesus from the middle east
Literally the second commandment:
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

Wow what a good entity that is totally deserving of my worship.
Nothing says divinity better than petty human emotions like jealousy, and open threats to my unborn children and grandchildren.
The God of the Bible is literally a Monster.
That's actually pretty much in-line with how a lot of gods were portrayed back then. Have you read any Greek mythology? The gods were assholes there, too.
Also jealousy is illegal according to the the Christian Constitution.
My dad used to beat this fact down my throat when I was a kid. No visual depictions of God/Jesus allowed. I wasn't allowed to watch The Passion or even Veggietales. But Prince of Egypt was okay.
"You shall not make for yourself..."
That means it's ok to just buy it, or you can make them and sell them. So long as you don't make one and keep it for yourself.
Religion is given far too much respect in the world when it needs to be treated as a mental disorder.
One pedophile argues with another:
Anybody that's read the Bible knows Jesus was a White man from New Jersey.
Idolatrous iconography is cute, but the real elephant in the room with Abrahamics these days is bibliolatry. Hate to make a Potter reference, but so many of these people think their God is Tom Riddle.
It takes a finger to point at the moon, so look at the moon, not the finger.
The Christian bible says exactly the same thing, Christians just ignore it.
Thy shall not make graven images
And then there's korean Jesus.
Jesus returns, looks around at crosses everywhere.
"Fuck me. I'm glad I didn't die accidentally drowning in manure!"
