He used living creatures & arranged everything outside. Of course many love to cry "Idolatry"!

Ian Paisley vs. the Man-Worshippers

Overview: One of DPI's hundreds of Undercover Jesuit-Trained Operatives and Paid Papist Informants infiltrating the Belfast, Northern Ireland-based organization of militant Protestant leader Ian Paisley has just passed along the following document to DPI.

It announces Paisley's new grassroots movement to convince the British government to outlaw the practice of "harbor idolatrous statues and icons" in all churches in all areas under British rule, especially "Romish" churches. As the document below reveals, Paisley opposes all forms of "human-worship" and "idolatrous personality cults focusing on mere men rather than God."

Rev. Dr. Ian Paisley, MP, Denounces Papist Idolatry

BELFAST -- Speaking at the Paisley Podium within the Paisley Lecture Hall of the new Paisley Jubilee Complex, renowned Reformed Protestant crusader Dr. Ian Paisley boldly attacked "idolatrous Popery's threat to the supremacy of Christ."

Righteously indignant that the British government still permits Romish churches to harbor idolatrous statues and icons, Dr. Paisley called upon the entire congregation of Paisley Free Presbyterian Church to send a stirring message to Parliament: "This abominable saint-worship takes away from the glory due to Christ alone!"

As perhaps the only true Reformed Protestants on the planet, Dr. Paisley noted, "we will never set up idolatrous personality cults focusing on mere men rather than God. This is one of the historic hallmarks of our faith here in the Paisleyite tradition!"

I lost faith in the Church years ago, but still have faith in Art. (And a taste for satire.)
