Modern day iconclasm

(Before It's News)

I frequently tire of the erroneous and hate driven charge that Orthodox worship icons of the Lord or His saints.  This charge was made against me (and still continues to be) my many friends of mine who are Lutheran or otherwise Protestant.  Trying to convince them using church history and the writings of the fathers is of absolutely no use since such people cannot be persuaded.  They say that it looks like worship though I know the difference between worship and honor.  Apparently, according to them, I don’t know the difference.  But, despite their error,  I doubt that anyone of these friends of mine would actually come into my home and destroy my icons or would buy an icon and then take it into their own home or church and make a spectacle of it like this imbecile here:

I encourage any of my friends to justify what this person does.
