Not to me.
Maybe that's because you don't understand the power of sacrifice.
Who says He didn't?

Hmm...
It's carved or perhaps poured into a carved mold, that means it's "graven". It is not the real Jesus, so that means it is an "image".
What do you think a graven image is?
Yes, indeed.
Too bad we have failed both Him and this precious child:
Consider:
Some see the glory of God within that child.
You choose to use the plight of this child (a failure of mankind) in your tandrum against God.

What sacrifice, a so-called god can't die, no sacrifice there and he only did it once, if he did it a billions times then you would have something. He did no more than others that gave their lives for others and suffered a hell of a lot more and a lot longer and didn’t get to set next to daddy after it all.

I think a graven image is the same thing as an idol which is anything you value or think more important than God. Your wife, your house, your boat, your education, your job, ect...
What is a tandrum?
Or did you mean to say "tantrum?"
Who's throwing a tantrum against god? Is that honestly how you characterize atheists? as a "tantrum against god?" That's simultaneously the most condescending and completely incorrect charactorization I have ever seen from you.

Do you mean you so-called god is so small that one can not love their wife, children, family and friends more then it. What a childless god you have there.

Time to upgrade.
I could do the dictionary game with you, but perhaps I'll simply say that it looks like a digital photograph to me.
fowlsound, what happen, I didn't recognize you.
Paul
I did. Couldn't miss him.
For someone that likes to play the dictionary game as much as you, I'd imagine you would have read one at some time.
Nice one, ace.

Funny. Earlier you said it was "your God".
Too many commas. Perhaps you should check an MLA handbook and look under "comma useage."

Oh well I never said I was a theologian. I just see that people have made idols of so many things (like their jobs and other people), and it seems too many have forgotten all about the one true God. It's really not okay.
Graven images must mean things more that are false Gods like buddahs. I use to think buddahs were cute but people have made that their God and it is a graven image so what do you say about that?
Oh I forgot I also through away a necklace I had bought years ago of ISIS. She is a graven image too. People do still buy into a lot of the wrong images of God or spirituality and I do speak from seeing some of the mistakes I made in the past by liking some of those things. I guess you could say I repented of enjoying some of the graven images people can allow in their life. I believe it really does hurt God when we buy into the wrong things like that.
Back to the bumper sticker idea..."ignorance is not bliss!" And when we talk about things like education don't get me wrong there is definitely things we do benefit from having a higher education, but if people make that their highest priority then they in my opinion have made that their God, which isn't okay.
