If they worship the image of a deity, they are idolators.
How can you worship an image of God if you don't know how God looks like?
Best regards.
If you worship an image of God, you are an idolator for worshiping the image.
To make my point, many Roman Catholic churches have pictures of Jesus. Some of these depict Him on the cross. Some depict Him on after He was taken down from the cross to be buried. There are pictures of Jesus in all kinds of situations in life. Besides the pictures, there are all kinds of statues and wood carvings and engravings.
What does Jesus look like? Where is the photograph? Who will swear in court that he knows for a fact that this or that picture is really what Jesus looks like?
There are a lot of Roman Catholic worshipers that actually worship the pictures, carvings, statues and engravings. Because the Catholic Church considers that the bread and wine of the Eucharist actually becomes the body and blood of Christ, many people worship these, as well... while the priest is holding them in his hand. How many of the worshipers in the roman Catholic Church are idolators for not worshiping Jesus Christ, but rather for worshiping the image of the Deity?
Go back and re-read this and think. It is important for you.

Further, read what the Revelation in the New Testament says about the way Jesus looks. From Revelation 1:10-18:
Quote
10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”
12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,” dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.
15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.
16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

How can you worship an image of God if you don't know how God looks like?
Best regards.
BitNow, it's quite simple.
You write:
BADecker states that one definition of an idol as the deity - head of a religion - itself.
In conjunction with the above, from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/idol:
Is a religion something that worships an idol or not? A simple question which you refuse to answer.
You write:
Here the word Faith means faith in the Supreme.
Something that worship an idol is not a Religion.

Is a religion something that worships an idol or not? A simple question which you refuse to answer.
Religion doesn't worship. Animals don't worship, either. Only people worship. People who worship any other deity than God are idolators. If they worship the image of a deity, they are idolators. The only time people are not idolators is when they worship God.
BitNow and myself come close to idol worship, when we believe the things that we say, which are not in line with the truth of God. You seem to not worship God at all. So, you are living a life of idolatry? Or, do you worship God after all?
What does that mean? You quote something and then write about something completely different? Are you trying to change the subject? For a minute there I thought you might start being honest.
Do you want to make my thing said out of the moment a definition?
Best regards.
What does "thing said out of the moment" mean - that there are some things you write that we should ignore? Can you tell me which they are ahead of time to save us all some bother?
The question here is: is Islam a Religion (because they worship "a thing", idolatry)?
Best regards.
So when is BitNow gonna man up and start answering questions? I've been waiting days.
Remember:
Answering questions means being a man!
oh fuck off, spent 30 mins composing this post click preview, phone bugged out then the browser crashed and it's gone...
It was fucking epic...
It was fucking epic...
Quite likely it was another pointless flat earth outburst of yours.
We would of been the judge of it's "epic" status thank you, not you.
I would not say atheists as a whole hate religion.
I think it comes down to the individual person, some people do some don't and some just end up jumping on the bandwagon
I agree with some, I disagree with others.
The most important thing is to be respectful I think

I've noticed that there are heavy religion bashing topics here.

Admitted what precisely?
That you no longer support a view you held a few days ago. That members should expect you to say "I didn't really mean that" when you're losing an argument.
You are lost, that is fine.
Believe in God and you will find the way.
Best regards.

One is a definition the other is a thing said out of the moment.

I never said that.
Yes, you said exactly that:
Something that worship an idol is not a Religion.
That was something said out of the moment.
That was not a definition.
Thank You.
No - thank you.
I'm not sure if you were being dishonest or if - in the heat of the moment - you'll just write whatever you think will win you an argument, but at least you have admitted it and that's the first step to recovery.
Admitted what precisely?
Tell him he is misinterpreting what you said.
I think this user is inferring that you think that Islam is the Religion of the Devil (muslims pray to the black stone).
Atheists rise a "logic question": do you think Islam is the Religion of the Devil?
You are not obliged to answer that question but it will give some understanding into this mess.
Thank You.
Best regards.
