I am a Hindu. I have a “Mandir” at my home. I visit temples. I believe in God. And I don’t mind idolatry.
I feel that temples are there to remind us that God exists. Idolatry is a way to not forget God. There is peace, calmness, and serenity in the religious places. These places bring back calmness in our lives. I know He is omnipresent. He can not be found in temples. But idol worshiping brings some kind of psychological satisfaction that yes, He is THERE and He is watching over us.
What’s bad if one gets a ray of hope through idol worshiping?
