Debate: Trent Horn vs Steve Christie (Marian dogmas)

They were graven images that were not worshiped. Therefore, not all graven images are bad. Only those worshiped as gods.
So what is your "only a Roman Catholic would believe this" excuse for those Roman Catholics in the Dark Ages, who worshipped what they claimed to possess which was claimed to be the genuine splinters of the cross that Jesus died on at Golgotha; that was also when some Roman Catholic Churches would try to 'out do' others by actually claiming to own some of the real blood of Jesus, and kept it in little bottles as a relic of the Lord; some professing Roman Catholics even said that they owned straw from Jesus' original manger; pieces of His garments; and believe it or not, during the Dark Ages, some even claimed to possess "feathers" that were accidentally dropped by the Holy Spirit!
These kinds of tricks are always easy to pander on people who are unfounded in God's Word. Hosea 4:6 says: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." It is easy to pull tricks off on people who are not educated in God's Word, and Roman Catholics have always been notoriously ignorant of God's Word. They have no sense of discernment. And this same type of 'sacred images and relics' tomfoolery still goes on today - it's just being sold to a brand new group of Roman Catholics who have no discernment of God's Word either.

Did they actually worship these things as gods? No they did not.
 
I disagree. That is how you worship. Our worship to God is the Mass. True worship of God involves a sacrifice.
Well again showing you do not understand scripture. Worship should be everything you do.

roms 12:1

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Isaiah 12:5

Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.

Col 3:14+

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Heb 13:5

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

Just a few verses that show that worship is not the mass. Of course nothing we do is worship if our heart is wrong and we follow man no matter what denomination.
