well on your computer you have 'icons' and you arn't allowed to worship false icons infact your ment to shun icons all together so why click on them, your doing what they want, are they from the devil?
well actually i ask this because it reminds me of when i worked in tech support, this guy who (this was the 90's and the thing was new to him) phoned up and started ranting down the phone 'I can't get my computer to work' 'ok whats the problem sir?' 'well it logs in that fine but then none of the programs open' 'ok and how are you opening them' 'shouldn't they load by themselfs? 'no sir you have to click on one of the icons' then he exploded 'I'M NOT DOING THAT HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CLICK ON AN ICON, I AM A GOD FEARING PERSON AND I WILL NOT SUBMIT TO YOU ICON'S' 'ok then, just click on the little picture infont of you labeled 'word' 'thanks its working now'

Because we are Christians, not iconoclasts.
The seventh ecumenical council explicitly permitted the use of icons, and rejected the iconoclast heresy.

How is clicking the same as worshiping? If you bowed down and gave your life to the icons, you would worshiping a false idol, not clicking them. Icon in this case and idol do not mean the same thing, anyway. Obviously meant for humor, but come, there's much funnier ways to make fun of Christians. At least get the facts straight.

Actually you are incorrect, if you go to crossdaily.com and do a word search, select a bible like the King James Version and do a search for "icon", you get nothing. It's false idols, or false gods. Not icons.
Secondly, that's an old joke, and it wasn't really all that funny the first time it came around, about 7 years ago.

Because words have multiple meanings and the icons that christians reject are different from the icons in a computer.

Funny you should mention that, because "christian" is actually a Swahili word which, literally translated, means "blatantly remorseless icon-clickers"
Either that, or Brian's answer is right.

HUMOR ALERT
I think it is humorous--for your program marker--I get to poke you in the eye--Does that hurt?
Icon--a tool in the aid of admission to a program.
God does not need advertizing--He takes care of himself.
END HUMOR ALERT
