Ok enough for nerdy trading and blockchain talks, lets have a break.

Is it a sin to pray to statues of Buddah, Mary, Jesus. What the bible says about this?

What is your stand on this?

Do you mean if it's a sin like in the bible when people were praying to idols and God destroyed them cause they should only be praying to him? I don't think so, since those are statues of the said gods or their apostles/prophets. By praying to the statue the person is praying to the appropriate god, so nothing wrong with it.

There were people however that thought praying to church icons for example is a sin in that manner. In the Byzantine empire the anti icon movement were especially strong early on in the first millennium BC. At one point they even managed to ban all visual depictions of christian saints and Christ himself for about a hundred years if I'm not mistaken.

In Islam to this day it's unacceptable to draw Allah, though nobody knows how Allah looks anyway Cheesy

God is known by many names, Krishna, Alah, Govinda, because he has so many aspects, for instance Krishna means Allattractive... and God never destroys sinners or for praying to other idols, or whatever your wish is, God is kind and he leaves us with that 20% of free will that we have here, and even that is decreased due to other things in your life... And so he leaves us alone, God never smites, except if his devotee is in trouble, when a devotee needs him he comes and saves him of unfortunate situtation. But other than that, God is never angry, his only wish is that we come back home, oooo, oooooo, would you come back home?!
