I am going to take your premise one step further gmark
Exodus 20:4
4.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Numbers 21:8,9
8And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
As you can see here is one of the bibles many contradictions.First God commands them to not build any images and then when they are beset with a plague of serpents God tells them to build a serpent of Brass.Later on in the scriptures the serpent had to be destroyed because the Hebrews began worshipping the serpent statue.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
