is it a sin to dispose off religious idols/images in the river?

Answer 1

yes that would be littering and causing pollution

Answer 2

Since the sin is making graven images, disposing of them would be sin relieving.

Edit... and yes of course, in the secular sense, polluting the river would be sinful.

You're damned if you do, damned if you don't... I recommend recycyling.

Answer 3

No. Dispose of all religious idols and images. God commands that we only worship him. No idols....no images.

Answer 4

I don't see what's wrong with discarding them in the trash. At least you wouldn't be littering. So, to answer you question from a Christian's perspective...Yes, it's a sin because you would be breaking the law by littering.

Answer 5

Quite the opposite actually, isn't idolatry a sin?

Answer 6

before defiling the river water try the city dump it's no sin unless what you choose to beleive so and then I think it's just in your head
paranoia does funny things to people..

Answer 7

It's actually a good idea.
Just don't let the D.E.C. catch you polluting public waterways.

Answer 8

I'd guess no, depending on the religion, because water is usually considered "cleansing" and "purifying" and things like that...

Answer 9

Noooo........go right ahead....I'm sure God would smile upon you for doing that.....But.........don't let a Catholic see you throw those precious pagan symbols in the river or they'll report you to their church!!

Answer 10

i believe it would depend on what ur faith was, what u believed...
