That is my point. I once gave a Kachina Doll to one of my friends as a gift. I collect them, as I live in the Southwest and am around Indian culture and art. I enjoy the dolls I have, and I can tell you what they represent, but I do not bring them into my house for the Indian Culture's purpose of them. This person that I gave one to, said "knowing the bible like you do, I am surprised you gave this to me." He said, "there is still the CHANCE of the evil being there."
Under Christ, I believe that we are taught that the hearts intention is what God looks at. The appearance of evil to me may be different than it is to you, it is my heart that God looks at.
