Is this not idol worship ?

Christmas has come and gone and we have all seen the innumerable clay idols of baby christ, his parents, fictitious angels etc displayed in various places. Is this not idol worship ? Let the Missionaries and Evangelists and fanatic converts answer this. These converts are forever ridiculing Hinduism as idol worship, what answer have they for their idol worship gimmick ?
 
There is nothing wrong in idol worship, the alien missionaries wanted to only denounce Hinduism, they conveniently forgot that they were also doing idol worship only. All worship essentially will involve idol worship of some kind. Even Muslims are worshipping a rock. It is also another form of idol worship, is it not ? Buddha criticised idol worship, but look at what his followers are doing, gigantic idols of Buddha are erected everywhere ! Same is true of Jainism, Sikhism.
 
So don’t attack idol worship. It is the only scientific way to pray. Human beings have to concentrate on a solid object to activate prayer mode. Whoever claims that his religion is not indulging in idol worship is talking rubbish.
