Icons and Idols Have No Power, But Are Treated As Gods

There is no power in something that is created of matter from the earth. Clay moulded into images that are painted to look like something resembling human form started in the Ice Age when men manufactured images of Mother God. It was a stylised version of the sun as a woman and she was shown giving birth to all living things, animals and humans alike. This is how primitive man saw their world and they worshiped the sun as the giver of life.

Humans don’t change their minds once something is established and the continuation of their dreams from those earliest times is seen in the icons and idols of today. There are some rather hideous ones around and the image of Krishna with three heads and six arms has to be seen as bazaar.

Yet it was this very image that Constantine used for the Trinity God he imposed when he established the Catholic Church in 325 AD. He put up the image of Jesus Christ based on Krishna and used the story associated with ‘him’ as that of his Son of God.

To penetrate the thinking of such a person as this emperor one must appreciate the times of his rule and the circumstances of his power. The Roman Empire was full of superstition and necromancy was everywhere. People had no mind for truth or the real God. What they favoured were the images brought from Babylon when the Amors moved from there into the Mediterranean and built Roma (reverse Amor).

They were as brutal, animal-like and destructive as their predecessors and they raided, plundered, enslaved, and overtook nations to build an even bigger empire than they had as the Persians. The images of their dreams were credited with the power to achieve these things.

Their followers continue to worship the idols and the iconic images of that city. Chief among them is the Mother God, Mary. Men dream of the day they ‘marry’ Mary and become gods in heaven and that is the basis of religions. Catholic priests pretend they are married to Mary which is the reason they remain celebrant.
