Thank you for the reply. You know some of my struggles, and I appreciate your thoughts.Shoe, I would just say if you aren't actually an Orthodox Christian or a catechumen, don't do anything with icons or saints that you are uncomfortable doing. Everybody has their own way of showing respect.
I used to kiss icons at church but now days I'm just content to let one sit in my corner next to a salt lamp. Occasionally I have prayed in front of an icon in the past, of course. Right now I have a Nativity set put up instead of an icon, but I will rotate them depending on the season.
