Tony, you are purposely eliding over the fact that your church is promoting what were idols.
But those things are viewed as art now. People make money into an idol but I'm sure that you make money and use it and I'm sure that your pastor receives a check. Are you(he) promoting an idol because many people idolize money?

The point is, what are men who claim to be preaching the Gospel doing with things that have nothing to do with the preaching of the Gospel, that were once worshiped as gods, not just as the statues they were, but what they represented, that these same pagans who worshiped that "art" and those gods that "art" represented, also persecuted the early believers of the Gospel because they did not worship those gods, so that they are in effect, soaked in the blood of the saints?
The same can be said for Evangelical/Fundamentalist pastors and their use of money.

As I asked twice now, Do you think that Paul or Peter would become caretakers of "art" that was once idols and that still depicts false gods made up by men, worshiped by those who persecuted Believers who refused to bow down to them, and which are thereby covered in the blood of the martyrs?  Really? 

The money loving evangelicals and fundamentalists money is soaked in the blood of the saints?  LOL!
