...but the text is fairly clear:

Jeremiah 10:2-4
King James Version (KJV)

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Boniface is suggesting that they commit a pagan ritual and call it christian?

And 1940s-1950s christians were good with that?
Very confusing.

Oh wait, that's right....its ALL metaphor...my bad.
