The Two Faces of Alien Worship Pt. 2

RRW:
: OTOH alien worship in terms of a "HOW" to worship is not directly or
: so obviously prohibited. Yet the torah unambiguously condemns such
: a practice.

Micha Berger:

Tir'u baTov!

FWIW Three other mitzvos come to mind

1. Matzeiva
   Even maskis
   Asheira

Which are all prohibited EVEN in the worship of HKBH. That is the form is tainted regardless of the Target - Similar to "Eish Zara" IOW the HOW is rejected even if the WHO is Kosher.
