All right, this article is taking a very biased pot shot at Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy by equating idolatry with veneration. I'm steamed, so I'm not going to start making changes right now. I'm going to give cooler heads a chance to do that, preferably the original authors and editors of this piece. I suggest the article distinguish between Protestants and Christians.
If the current text stays, I'm very tempted to insert a rebuttal paragraph or two indicating how the Protestant stance defining idolatry as it does, also effectively denies the doctrine of the Incarnation, just as John of Damascus said it was wont to do back in the eighth century.

The middle to bottom needs work, no doubt, but what do you mean /NPOV?-豎眩
NPOV = "neutral point of view". See the discussion of this in the introductory pages. Michael Hardy 23:12 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)

Sorry Susan... didnt see you editing... -豎眩
It appears there is an edit disagreement.
- stating "idolatry is a sin" is POV. Stating that all religions oppose idolatry is incorrect. Susan Mason
