Iconoclasm makes me legit full of joy.
heresy

Orthodox here.
I think there is nothing wrong with religious images per se, but treating them as idols should be forbidden. This is why i never pray before icons or kiss them. Orthodoxy tends to have a bit of overload with icons and other imagery so you must be careful how you act around them. This is just my opinion.

Idol worship is one of the biggest reasons I cannot be Orthodox, even where it is not true idolatry, why would you engage in such an affront to the covenants? When the apostle said not to chop down and adorn a tree as the pagans do, when Peter said not to worship graven images, and all of the commands in the Old Testament, and you still feel the need to worship with idols? Even of it is not idolatry, what makes you think it's useful? It's like Catholics with their rosary, engaging in vain repetitions; even if some can properly use the rosary, what benefit do you think you will achieve out of pronouncing memorized prayers over and over again, heedless of their meaning?
I don't mind religious imagery in Church, but Icons are too dangerous, history has attested to this.
I think when iconoclasm happens it's for all the wrong reasons. I think it would be good if the people who posses the icons themselves destroyed the icons.
Really, secret symbolism or inherently incorrect or false symbolism should be destroyed.
>people love god
>want to demonstrate their love of god
>pour creative effort into making art to show the glory of god
>churches are now beautiful and people come from all over to marvel at them
>bunch of dumbfuck barbarians who can't make art to save their lives get massively butthurt because their churches are ugly and barren in comparison
>start saying you're don't "really" love god you just love your art
>try to destroy all your art to assuage their butthurt

This. The only saving grace of Christianity is its aesthetic. Take that away and the autism levels go off the charts.
