What are your preferences? Do you like Monogamy better or Non-Monogamy? Why do you think Monogamy/Non-Monogamy is better? Do you have certain biases based on moral, religious or...
As the title says. I've never gotten why it is reprehensible to worship a physical object as an image/manifestation of God or gods. While this is a debate, i am not denouncing people who see idolatry as a sin. I would only like to understand why :)
