Skeptic. You said you understand it and even make excuses for it.
Person A. Yes, but idolatry is wrong.
Skeptic. Fucking hypocrites....

What are you going on about?
I don't give a flying fig if idolatry is condoned or condemned in Islam. I also don't care if my mother eats a cracker and thinks it is the body of Jesus. I don't care if eating cows is forbidden by Hindus. Get it?
My point was about the monuments, and holy buildings all religions buildings ARE monuments to superstition. Just like not eating beef is a superstition with Hindus, unless your doctor is telling you you need to cut back so you don't clog your heart. Then that is a REAL medical reason to stop.
Just like jocks think wearing the same socks will win them the game. A superstition may make someone feel good, and they may share the love of that superstition with others, but it does not make the superstition, or the monuments to that superstition, or the rituals surrounding that superstition valid. It just means people have predilection to a superstition.
