What's your point, more hatred? You couldn't even say with certainty that they're Catholic. But even if they are, the Church is not, ultimately, responsible for how people venerate a saint. In fact, you don't even have to do that. But it's not an idol, they're not worshiping anything but God Himself. I trust Jesus when he says we should get the log out of our own eye before worrying about the splinter in our brother's. eye.
When it says
It doesnt mean make a golden headless woman
Whats the difference except a person has two legs and the calf has four?
Well, its a body-less skull really
Wow
Parading around a skull
Isn't there something more productive one could be doing?

When someone asks you what you do for a living (and you do this)

Ah, never mind...more hate. This is not Christian attitude, lady.If its interpetive art, it just screams,
"I got out way too early from the physcho ward"
Just looks like what this sounds like at first glance
Ezekiel 6:4
And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken:
and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Is all this really necessary?
Churches decorated with the bones of dead people
This is something like out of the Adams family mansion or something.
This might make more sense
Ezek 6:5
And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols;
and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
This is just...I have to overuse the word weird in all of this
I could go with creepy
Dead bodies line the walls
This story is one of the creepiest stories, digging up dead people and judging as God
Some other strange place where the heads of the bodies of souls that have died
and these are piled up on a table (I dont know what goes on in these places)
Anything that is dead, is an item to devote oneself to, pray to,
to parade around town, to decorate in jewels or gold.
Body parts are used to decorate with, its mind boggling how creepy all this is.

Ya know, if you have a problem with it, you're not required to do it. Some do, I don't agree with it. But they are the remains of our saints. Keep a-judgin'.Wow! Creepy.
Just in time for Halloween ehehe
Matt 27:
32 As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross. 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.…

The skull and bones of a dressed-up Pope
The local Church dressed up dead Pope Celestine V to please Pope Benedict. The pontiff came to pay the skull and bones of Celestine a visit. A lot of work had to be done before Pope Benedict came to St. Maria of Collemaggio Church in L’Aquila in central Italy, on 28th of April 2009. A… Read More

Faithful papists in Spain bow before Dona Maria Coronel, one of the “saints” of Sevilla in Spain. Dona María Fernández Coronel lived in Sevilla in Spain (1334 † 1411).

You have to know that it convicts them before you can do that. God is my judge, not you or any other man or woman.

Ah yes...the ole "anti-RCatholicism" thang?
There are a few threads on that:

Anyway, those pictures of the bones reminds me of this awesome event in Ezekiel 37 [perhaps the RCs are hoping those bones they are venerating will revive ehehe]
Ezekiel 37:
1 There hath been upon me a hand of YHVH, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of YHVH, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones....
3 Then said He unto me "Son of adam! Can these bones live". And I said " my Lord Yahweh, thou knowest!
10 And I prophecy as He instructed and the spirit/breath is coming in them and they are living and are standing on their feet, a great army/host, exceedingly-exceedingly.
Reve 11:11
And after the three days and half-equal, a spirit/breath of Life out of GOD entered in/on them, and they stand on their feet
and fear, great falls on the ones beholding them.

It is pretty anti-Catholic. Why not focus on your own faith? This is a thread about pictures of Jesus, not about Catholic-bashing. I know what Christ looks like, and it's not based on anything human-made. I wasn't speaking about all of you, either. Just ms Fireinfolding. Hey, maybe that image is her idol, the one of the unblinking eye? I think she worships it! That last sentence is all the previous two pages have been able to produce. Supposition. Got the torch lit yet?

Incense to cement Marys
Mary incense
Blessing graven images or idols (chose one)
Prayer set before idols as incense
Prayer before pictures of Mary
They incensed the brazen serpent and the other offered incense to the queen of heaven this way.
Now I really have to make dinner

From the looks of it, this is in an Orthodox monastery.Some other strange place where the heads of the bodies of souls that have died
and these are piled up on a table (I dont know what goes on in these places)
As many monasteries are built on high rock outcrops, such as those in Meteora
there is very little earth which can be used for burial. So when a monk or nun dies, they are buried for a couple of years until their flesh has dissolved, then their remains are exhumed so the grave can be used again. Since we believe that the Holy Spirit remains with those who have died in the faith, their relics are considered to be sanctified, and indeed some give off an ineffable fragrance. The relics of the great martyr St Demetrios in Thessaloniki for example, have been exuding fragrant myrrh for centuries.

In the book of Revelation the apostle John bowed down before a mighty angel,, he was rebuked for doing it. Yet other Christians bow down before much less then a Mighty Angel of God,, i.e, the work of the hands of men, pictures and statues made from stone. Seems odd to me

Yes, but it is crud based on facts ehehe
Philippians 3:8
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish/dung, in order that I may gain Christ
Peter 2:22
What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

Revelation 3"
15 I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So -- because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth;

He was trying to WORSHIP him. The angel rebuked him, (told him don't do that)because he's not God. If other Christians are bowing before something in WORSHIP, then it's wrong. If it's not worship, and how do you know if it is or not, if you don't know that person's heart, there's nothing wrong with it.
