This kind of topic is fundamental to any Church that believes in Sacraments, has Apostolic Succession etc. Icons are considered Sacramentals just like the various objects used for Communion and the Liturgy, that are on the altar etc. These things by definition are Holy in the Hebraic sense since they are consecrated (set apart) for the service / worship of God.

Because they do not believe in God, my friend. To deny the proper veneration of icons is to at least implicitly deny the incarnation of our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ, to deny the indwelling of God in His people, and to deny the proper honor due to our forefathers on account of their great witness. It is to stand against the Christian faith.

I would be shocked if anyone on TAW expressed any kind of iconoclastic or aiconic tendencies!
