He sure did!God said tho thall not take idols, or something of that sorts..
Is America a society that is based on taking idol?
I mean, the president in America is a typical example of a person who is there as an idol rather than a sane figure.
In my opinion no society should have any single leader/dictator.
Americans love single people with much power, and its all about the person, nothing about what the person stands for.
America seems to love taking idol, most politics is about idol in American, and not politics.
Its the same with the political parties, taken as idol rather than actual politics. Its a fight between idolts, flags if you want.
And yes, last the American flag, the biggest American idol, waved around as if nationalism is good.
Point is, does America "take idols"?
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God
It's not worshipped in place of God.

Asking as a serious question, do any Christians here count the crucifix as idolatry?
Why don't you look up the correct quote before initiating a thread to bash America?
Come on how can the crucifix not be idolatry?
Most Christians worship Jesus as God, which is also against the ten commandments. But then again, the Christians also modified those.. :doh
Its not the same in Europe by the way, we are not so taken by individuals, leaders, people and idols as Americans.

I seem to recall a few people idolizing a charming German fellow a few decades ago.

Well if you'd bothered to consult Wikipedia about the most basic principles of US government, you'd see that we don't have a single leader. We have two legislative houses which are elected by the people, we have a president and vice-president which are elected by the people, we have an independent judiciary which is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and we have various high-ranking cabinet positions which are appointed/fired by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
I didnt want to.. Point should be clear anyways.

That's why I was asking it.
In Christian theology Jesus is God, so they have a loop-hole there.
What loophole? Look, you can take a cross as an idol in which you are worshipping the cross, or you can look at it as a representation of what you are really worshipping (God). God looks into a man's heart to see which he's worshipping.
