Snail, I think the Amish (whose children play with faceless dolls) and object
to having their pictures taken are the only sect I can think of who attempt
to strictly follow this.

anything that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth. You shall not bow down to them or
serve them...>
and
representational sculpture is a no-no, regardless
of usage. Just out of curiosity, as an athiest,
which sects of the Judeo-Christian tradition
actually follow the letter of this? and how are
looser interpretations justified, theologically?>
