We are to glorify God.

Instead, people are glorifying creatures rather than the Creator.

Isn't that why God did not want Israel to have Kings?
God knew that there is always a tendency to worship kings,
and that unjust kings would impose draconian hardships on their people.
Didn't the Romans worship their emperors as deities during the time of Christ?

Buildings that are dedicated as Churches should glorify God, not humanity.
Paintings, adornments, and icons in the Churches should remind one of heaven,
and should be windows into heaven, so that our minds are elevated to the divine.
