Idolatry isn’t evil if you think about it for even a second. You are free to worship whatever you choose. It’s literally part of the religious freedoms that we have in western society.
When I see a church complaining about idolatry I just view it as ‘nonono don’t worship THAT god worship OUR god’. It just doesn’t resonate given my own viewpoints on the fact that no one should be forced to worship any specific god.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoFreedom of religion is a societal norm, it's not useful for determining morality. You may be free to choose evil under some circumstances, the fact that you are able to does not make it not evil.
- AnotherGoodName 2y agoI’d argue definitions of good and evil are very much based in societal norms. We absolutely define freedom of religion as good with our current societal norms.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoSure, yeah. That's a much weaker and less interesting assertion than the one I thought you were trying to make. I can't argue with it.
