Just admit you're wrong and don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Iconoclasm was a non-issue in the Schism. The turmoil it caused in the East only tangentially led to the Schism in that Rome's interference gave it, centuries later, a precedent for papal supremacy. Period.
Did it cause the Schism? No. Would the Schism have happened without it? Yes. Did it have no effect on pre-Schism East/West relations? If the Pope intervened on behalf of iconophile Patriarchs and Charlemagne wrote a condemnation of iconoclasts based on erroneous belief they were iconophiles, it is hard to argue it did not.

I would chide you on that basis for having a love/hate relationship with God, but who does not?

True, but by the same token, in denying our nature we deny the divine.

You've made this analogy before and it's still a bad one, those aren't comparable

Nope, Buddhists are explicitly atheist and also explicitly Ontologically engaged

Actually, Buddhists are not explicitly atheist in the conventional sense of the world.

I guess it is that old impersonalism that seems the great disappointment in most Eastern religions.

I think he's saying that most arguments used on behalf of Atheism actually come from the Bible.

Basically what Dan said; atheism as iconoclasm sans icons (unless we count religion as symbolism.)

What exactly do you mean by "The irreparable damage it inflicted in the Great Schism"?

That Byzantiums iconoclasm was one of the many wedges between it and Rome that led to the Schism.

Irreparable damage is damage that cannot be repaired, not necessarily serious or fatal.

That is a broader argument, but more consistent with iconoclasms established meaning.

Would you include the iconoclasm that Joel cites in the canonical Judeo-Christian tradition as well?
