Is it not better to have a personal attachment to an image of Christ than to an ordinary man or woman?

It is very easy to say, "Don't be personal", 
but the same man who says so is generally most personal. 
His attachment for particular men and women is very strong; 
it does not leave him when they die, he wants to follow them beyond death. 

That is idolatry; it is the seed, the very cause of idolatry; 
and the cause being there it will come out in some form.
Is it not better to have a personal attachment to an image 
of Christ than to an ordinary man or woman?
