this picture of a fan hugging and crying over his now deposed statue disturbs me greatly.

My husband and I looked at that and talked about our Christian beliefs. The Judeo-Christian God we worship does not like idol worship. This picture really shows why. Neither the person nor the image of him should ever, ever have been worshiped the way he was. Even knowing what we now know, people persist in that worship. I suppose this could be a picture of a fan who is heartsick over the whole situation, but to me it symbolizes worshiping the wrong things. We have to be careful where we place our beliefs and loyalties.

We believe a variety of things in ASAH, and call God/Godess by a variety of names. But no puny human being, or activity like football can stand in for Him/Her. The perversion begins there.
