Mitä tarkoittaa
Idolatry refers to the worship of idols or physical objects as representations of divine beings. It is a practice found in various religions throughout history, often viewed negatively by monotheistic faiths such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In these traditions, idolatry is considered a form of polytheism that detracts from the worship of a singular, formless deity. The term is derived from the Greek 'eidolon' (idol) and 'latreia' (worship). Idolatry can manifest in many forms, including the veneration of images, statues, or even concepts that are attributed divine qualities. Philosophically, idolatry raises questions about the nature of divinity, representation, and the relationship between the sacred and the profane.
