    Graven images are forbidden in that faith which everyone seems to forget.

    edit: This is in the 10 commandments. It’s weird that Christians now have so many graven images

      The destruction of statues of goddesses, however, was accompanied by a great deal of exceptional misogyny, sexual self-loathing, and aggressive asceticism in addition.

      “Graven images are forbidden”

      Engraves an image in/on everything

        Graven images are representations of human beings. It is identical to how Islam forbids images of Mohammed because you are supposed to worship god rather than the statute or painting. Judaism and Christianity both have this rule.

        Im not saying the destruction is right but this is motivated by the same beliefs that lead the Taliban to destroy non-Islamic statutes. Again not saying this was right but this is why it happened.

          It’s almost like religions generally do why they think will get them more followers/tithes rather than follow any strict moral codes…

          Not just human beings, anything.

          Wikipedia:

          … 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 earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

          Really much more about worshipping them than about making them though.
