If He is trying to tell us anything by that - I would suspect that this could be interpreted as warning against idolatry - statues, pictures, icons, etc of deities can be considered a form of idolatry and this is against the 2nd God's commandment.

heh...

I dont know for sure, christian religion is Shepherds department.

I do know my his story though.

Idol in some interpretations can also mean any statue, including that one of Jesus, including the little crosses some christians always wear.

Maybe he's trying to tell all those televanglists to get some words of their own, he's tired of them misusing his?

Status: offline 		A true Atheist like me Just says...Hmmm Some electrons got together and lightning hit a tall object.

To try to make anything else out of it like Idiots proclaiming in their internet sites over Easter "Happy dead Jew on a stick day" is simply childish atheist intolerance and makes atheists and agnostics appear just as arrogant and intolerant as the Muslims or Christian Fundamentalists.

Sadly even atheism has it share of people that can't repress their loud mouthed bigot urges.

I am sad, however, that the subject of the Heywood Banks song, "Big Butter Jesus", is no more.
