One day at work, a woman inquired about my religious background. I told her I was Catholic. She immediately responded by “warning” me about a couple things, including that God has commanded his people, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image…[and] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them…” She bluntly pointed out that this is exactly what Catholics do and completed her untimely analysis by reminding me that God has strictly forbidden such idolatrous actions. She was a Jehovah’s Witness. I patiently listened, half-stunned and half-disappointed that I didn’t have time to engage her about this rather weak objection to Catholicism. Has anything like this ever happened to you?
