Iconoclastic.... an interesting userid....

You do of course realise that you have named yourself after a movement from the 8th Century? One that may have started with good intentions, ultimately became known for it's fanatical intolerance. See the iconoclasts believed that people were putting or giving too much faith to Icons (religious pieces of art such as paintings, murals, statues, illuminated books, saints relics, and holy objects) so they set out to destroy it all (sort of a religious anarchist movement). While your choice of names may have been approrate if you consider GLOs to be flase images that people worship as if they were God (note the distinction). However you insistance that the bible is the true source of information and guidance goes against the Icoloclastic principle; for you see they believed that the words could be changed, manipulated, or corrupted (hence they burned a lot of bibles).... and in fact they did ascribe to the belief that they "holy word" had been corrupted during the formation of the Church in Rome. So your blind belief in scripture is in fact an affront to even the Iconoclastic movement........
