An '''idol''' is an image or object fashioned by humans for the purpose of worshiping a deity. Motivated by the human tendency to rely on visible representations, cultures throughout antiquity produced statues, images, or paintings symbolizing deities and revered them. [[God]], however, strictly forbids the making of idols in any form, material, or likeness and categorically prohibits idolatry. | An '''idol''' is an image or object fashioned by humans for the purpose of worshiping a deity.
