Trouble with that is that it told them to murder people - and not to worship other shit. You must realize that the crystal crazed folks (and pagans in general) are notoriously pacifistic right? There aren't a whole lot of murderous hippies. Beyond the contradiction of mere fact in taboo between murder and worship, the kind of god you're talking about would have to be an idiot to believe as much, as well.
These are the sorts of issues we both run into, and create ourselves, when we try to retcon a murderous ideology to our more dainty contemporary sensibilities. You are not going to able to derive or devise a credible line of argumentation for your viewpoint from within abrahamic traditions. The only murder that idolatry appears to cause is the murder of the idolators by abrahamic cultists.
