If your god is made of wood you might try gluing it. If that doesn't work at least burn it and keep warm for a while so you don't waste the wood (or god whatever)

is this a pagan thing? i'm not sure who worships idols in today's society. if youre one of those trying to back handedly questions about the catholics -- nope, when a plaster statue breaks - it makes great sidewalk chalk. i mean it's only a statue, a memorial for the person for who it represents.

They are not praying to the idol. They are using the statue as a representation of that which can not be seen to assist them in focusing, and as a reminder of their faith.

Jeez, some people are stupid. An idol is a representation of their god, not the god itself. Idiot

Probably because they want to and I'd imagine they do get a new idol.

its wise for those whom know and understand when they say they have believe in the religion of their faith rather than the faith of their religion, as what is make in a form is a focus within.
as the question is; does you not plead in your Father name to seek of forgivenesss.

They worship created things instead of the creator.

For the same reason people pray to imaginary friends, they think it does something.
