That's idiotic. Christ isn't an idol, he's the son of God. There is a difference, you know.
An idol is either a physical representation of, or a false, god.
Christ is neither a physical representation of (as in statue) a god, nor is he a false god.
Yet he has been turned into an idol. A construct of ideas to worship. That isn't the worship he was referring to, IMO.
A" representation of" can also a construction of thought.
Christ told his followers to "do not cling to me" Yet today christians cling to christ instead of doing his message. You can only cling to some sort of idol. Physical or mental, the end result is the same.
