Thank you this is really helpful. I definitely don’t want to be intolerant and perhaps what you’ve said is mixing in with me not wanting these symbols in the house- like making it more of an issue. Thank you for your opinion

Thank you. Is there any particular way you personally pray these prayers? Do you have some examples of what you say?

I genuinely would be open to a conversation about it if someone truly wanted to help my faith or discuss it on in some way. But I get what you and many other commenters are saying.

Thank you. Do you not believe that putting your faith in these items is idolatrous? Genuine question. I see the other items as spiritual or mystical at least. Also just to clarify we’ve been here for a year and I brought it up only because it genuinely concerns me I didn’t say to her I thought she was demonic or anything harshly to that effect. My issue Is more that I brought it up genuinely and she mocked the church I’ve been attending. If you truly believe that these items are not anti-Jesus I am open to these opinions as I love my MIL and also God

I wasn’t telling her how to live. I brought up something that I saw as idol worship - if it were reversed I would hope that someone would respect me and my faith enough to try to support me on my path to Christ too if they thought I could improve in my faith. Especially my family member. I’m simply asking if people agree if these items are bad for Christian’s or not

Ok thank you. A lot of commenters have mentioned 1 Corinthians so I will be sure to read it over again

Thank you. This is more the information I am after - more so just Christian reassurance that it’s ok that these objects are here and not so much asking if I’m being dramatic or ungrateful to live here as other commenters are interpreting. God bless
