My case is largely made on the fact that we have eyes. It wouldn’t be difficult to argue that to look at God’s creation aides in our worship, but in itself pales horribly in comparison to his glory.

Also, the it seems to me that the Israelites weren’t asking for a representation of the true God but asking for new ones. I could be wrong, but that’s certainly how it reads at face value.

“Come, make us gods who will go before us.” Exodus 32:1

Also, I think it could be argued (by John Piper) that without a “good” worship experience, it’s unlikely you’ve actually been worshipping.

Although, I’m not sure how I feel about that statement yet either.
