“..... You shall destroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire. For you are a Holy people to the LORD your GOD; the LORD your GOD has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.” – The Fifth Book of Moses Called Deuteronomy 7:5-6, Holy Bible, The New King James Version.
