>>What are these other, um... "things" > >For instance, a while back a group of people committed suicide when a certain comet flew by the earth, thinking they would be resurrected and get caught up in it. People once believed the universe revolved around the Earth. Ancient Isrealis worshiped wooden idols, golden calfs,and so forth. IOW, I freely admit that people can be and are frequently misled and/or may be sincerely wrong in their beliefs.
Catholics and most (but not all) other Christians still do. (worship wooden idols, images, etc.)
