Second Commandment - If the 2nd Commandment is "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" why do Christians wear crosses, Have statues, and make films with Jesus' graven image on them?
It's commonly understood that the commandment refers to the construction of idols. Christians (usually) don't pray to or worship these objects as some sort of intermediary, so it's more an issue of icons than idols. Do with that what you will.
It seems God is quite strict on mysticism, as opposed to idolatrous forms of worship. A thing with a name and visage is a thing of this world, so perhaps it's a means of him portraying an ephemeral spirituality over the human desire for visceral tangibility.
