I'm going to include chants, naats, hymns, poems, verses  and songs in my prayers

 

[Preety_India]

 

 

They need something that they can relate to. The images of Gods aren't real. I would say those who think these images are real are kinda deluded..but some people simply need a personified representations of Gods to be able to relate to something that also has human/animal traits and qualities. 

 

This facilitates the process of spiritual communication.

 

For example if someone told me to stand next to a tree and consider it as God and pray to it, it would simply be impossible for me to do it 

 

I won't be able to pray and my spiritual communication would be left incomplete.

 

So as a way to support my imagination, I can use a statue, an idol, a picture that has either Human/animal traits so it appears like there is someone there I'm talking to and communicating with .

 

In reality it's nothing more than that.

 

Also most Gods in polytheistic religions with pantheon of Gods are simply archetypes of some quality/event/phenomenon or state 

 

For example you could have a God that represents Justice and you pray to that Deity for justice or peace/resolution.

 

This is a way of finding one's own inner peace through spiritual venting or communication.

 

That's the whole essense of idol worship, pagan religions and polytheistic religions like Greek, Hinduism.

 

Islam is one religion that does not have symbolic representation or idol worship..

 

However most religions have a personified character that the religion followers pray to.

 

It's almost people following pop stars or celebrities because those celebrities represent a certain character/aura or ethos to the public that people fall in love with.

 

If taken positively it can be a source of motivation in life where you learn valuable life lessons from mythological stories surrounding different Gods or if taken negatively it can turn into a cult where people blindly worship without true intention and empty chanting or not embodying the sentiment of the deities.

 

For example a man who worships a diety that is about justice yet goes and commits injustices against the vulnerable then he is simply blind worshipping an idol .

 

I believe that such invocations of deities can be either a powerful psychological transformation through motivation or it can turn into nothing more than words from the mouth.

 

Depends on how a person chooses to use it in his life.
