This week, there was some guy on Twitter, stirring things up by making a video of himself stepping on a holy icon to make the point that people shouldn’t be so uptight about sacred objects, as if those objects deserved more reverence than we owe ourselves. After all, they’re just paint and wood and we are made in the divine image. If anything, the icons should be venerating us. And so to prove his point, he put one on the ground and stepped on it. And I figured, well, he sounds like a Protestant, so I said, he probably wouldn’t do that with the Bible, to which he replied, “Hold my beer.”
And he proceeded to step on the Bible in a follow up video.
His point was, an icon is just paint and wood. To treat it like it’s more #holy than a human being, created in the image of #God is foolish and superstitious and that matters most is what’s in our hearts and minds and now how we treat inanimate objects. Which is why imposing all kinds of devotions that make humans venerate these icons is to act as though wood and paint are more significantly holy than we are.
