Idol cih kammal pen a a khiatna bulpi (original meaning) hong kipatkhiatna taktak Greek kammal "eidolon" - "milim" (image) a cihna hi. Milim (idol or cult image) pen Pasian bangin mit tawh kimu thei pumpi milim (physical image) - suang leh sik tawh a kibawl milim ahih kei leh mi (statue, or a person) mai-ah kunsukin biakna pen milim pasian biakna (idolatry) kici hi.

Pasian khat bek biaknate (nonotheistic religions) - Christianity, Islam leh Judaism ah "idolatry" pen pasian man lo lo biakna (worship of false gods) a cihna hi a, Moses' tunga Pasian' Thupiak Sawmte manphatna sungtawng (core value system of the Ten Commandments) in na kham in, phal vet lo hi cih Paikhiatna 20:3 leh Thuhilhkikna 5:7 ah, "Keimah longal pasian dang na bia kei ding uh hi," ci-in Pasian' kammal na om hi.

Idolatry kammal hong piankhiatna Greek kammal "eidololatria" kici pan hi a, a khiatna pen milim pasian biakna ("worship of idols") a cihna hi a, Latin kammal in a masa penna dingin "idololatria" ci-in na kizang a, tua khitin Vulgar Latin in "idolatria" ci-in na kizang hi.

Thu um i kicih takpi leh i kammal zatte leh pawi zatte Christian ngeina tawh kituak mah hiam cih zong lungngaih tham mahmah hi.

AMERICAN THANKSGIVING HONG KIPATKHIAT  ZIA - LUNGDAMKOH ANNEK KHAWMNA (Thanksgiving feast):

Christopher Columbus in 1492 in South Asia lam sum bawlna lampi zong dingin Japan manawh kimlai America gam na tung zawsop in, Leitung Thak (New World) ka mukhia hi ci-in hong tangko hi. Tua khit nungin Mikang gamkeekte leh England gam-a biakna hanga bawlsiatna thuak ding kihtate America ah peemta leh gamkeek in hong lut uh hi. America gam-ah Europe pan a gambeel a va teng (settlers) mite in a gam keekna uh leh America ah teenna ding a bawl theihna dingun Native Indian 300 million in thahna/sihna tuak uh a, leitung tangthu adingin kilom kithahna nasia pen (worst genocide in human history) hi lai hi.

1621 in upmawh thu kigenna tawh ki-upsakna tangthu (mythologised) ah biakna pia dinga khualzinte (Pilgrims) leh tualsuak mite Native American ten anlim nono nekkhawmna (gastronomic encounter) nei uh hi cih pen US history ah a zak nop dinga tangthu phuahtawm kiteisawn (fairytale version) hi napi US history ah inndei suang kiu ahih leh inn kingakna tawphah dinga kizang suang suak hi. US ten gam bup Lungdamkohna Ni pawi a neih ciangun lungdamna leh annek khawmna hunin zang uh a, ahih hangin US Presidents ten tua ni-a gawh dinga kipia turkey kici ak nam khat a maisakna uh en dingin mihonpi leh news reporters a dim a ha-in kiphu ngeingai in buai khop den uh ahih mi tampi in hih bang ngeina zadah mahmah in, a gensia tam mahmah ta uh hi.

Historical context panin enpak leng Thanksgiving zatna pen a kihhuai thupiang tuamtuam (nauseating affair) tampi na om hi. University of Texas journalism professor Robert Jensen in AlterNet website ah, "Thanksgiving" cih kammal pen mindaina/maizumna (disgrace) tawh kidim hi ci hi. Robert Jensen in a laigelhna ah, .."1637 in Massachusetts Bay Colony governor John Winthrop in Pequot India mite pasal, numei leh naupang za tampi lawhcing takin a kilomthahna (successful massacre) phawkna dingin "thanksgiving" zat dingin tangpi tangta theih dingin na tangkokhia (proclaimed) hi. Hih bangin American continent (North leh South America ah) ah American Indians minamte 95 panin 99% kikal kilomthah in mangthang uh hi," ci hi.

Historian leh "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" laibu gelh Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz in Thanksgiving Day kizat pen ngaihsum tham cing mahmah a, lawp luatna dingin tha hong pia ding om lo hi ci hi. 2015 in nial zawh loh ding Native American minamte kilomthahna thu (indisputable genocide of Native Americans) tawh kisai lai a gelhna ah Dunbar-Ortiz in, "Gamkeek a America a lut a teng (settler colonialism) ten milom thahna dingin "genocidal policy" kici a zat loh uh kiphamawh uh a, "Euro-American colonialism" pen "capitalist economic globalization" ahih manin a bul panin milomthahna tawh na kipan hi," na ci hi. 

Tua bang mahin tu lai-in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan leh Middle East gamte a kilom thahna pen Euro-American neo-colonialism policy mah zopna hi a, milom thahna tawh a ngonggamtatna uh pen America ah Native Americans mite leitang suhsakna dingin "capitalist economic globalization" a zat mah bangun tu-in a zang lai uh hi bek a, leitung bei dong zang ding uh ahih manin amau gam ngimna tangtun sakna ding leh meetna (interests) ding ahih peuh leh milom thahna dingin "genocidal policy" khawlsan ngei lo ding bang uh hi.

Tua banah leitang guksakna (land theft) tawh kisai Dunbar-Ortiz in a genna ah Native American mite sum bawlna lampite (trade routes) laksakna leh a leitang uh guksakna hangin nek ding leh a kisam na tuamtuamte haksatna leh kitangsapna piangsak ahih manin milip khan'na ding a dal banah gaamkeekte tung leh European mite van bawlsate tungah a kingak peelmawhna ding uh lampi piangsak hi ci hi.

A phamsa historian Howard Zinn in a laibu "A People's History of the United States" ah Mikang gamkeek ten 'capitalist dispossession' kici zangin 1814 Treaty kici thukimna Native Indian Creek nation tawh bawl uh a, Indian minam khat panin Indian minamte khenkhia (splitting) uh a, a beh leitangte uh khensak in, leitang tawh golhgukna (bribing) zangin pawlkhatte tungah leitang pia uh a, pawlkhatte tuamkoih khiat uh hi. Hih thu hangin a meet bekbek lamet leh haipihna tawh mihaute thuneihna tawh ki-ukna Western capitalism lungtang hong piang hi ci hi. 

Tua loin US ten tualsuakmite Native Americante leitang suhsakna dingin "land grabs" policy zang uh a, a patkung ciin'na (cotton cultivation) dingun pat kumpi gam (cotton kingdom) leh sila zanga lokhawhna leh singkung suanna "slave plantations" cihte bulphuh hong pianna suaksak uh hi. A tom in gen leng a beisa hunin US tangthu phuahtawm bawl ten (mythmakers) thukham tawh kituak loin a ankuang uh-ah "pumpkin pie" leh "cranberry sauce" bek koih ding a thupisim uh pen a lamdang hilo hi.

*The United American Indians of New England ten US leh European settlers ten Thanksgiving tangthu a man loin phuaktawm (fabricating) uh a, 1970 panin Thanksgiving Day pen Gam bup Dah Ni "National Day of Mourning" ci-in tu dong lungphona lahna ni in na zang ngekngek den uh hi.

American ten Lungdamkoh ni ci-in anlak pawi ci-in gam bup khawl ni-in a zat hangun America tualsuakmi Native American ten hih ni pen kum zalom tampi sung ka leitang uh hong kisuhsakna (land seizures) leh ngeina tuam ngiat minamte ngeinate beimangsakna/nawtmangsakna (erosion of tribal culture) ciamtehna dinga khawl ni hi ci-in ngaihsun uh a, gam bup dah ni (National day of Mourning) hi zaw hi ci uh hi.

Hih thu pen Trump' kamciamna tawh a kibehbulh hangin US gam religious state hi loin secular state ahihna a thahatsak semna leh US Constitution ngeina bel hi zaw hi.  

Pasian um kicici pong in, hong makaihna nung zuizui napi-in Paikhiatna 32 sungah kamsang Moses in Sinai Mual Tung ah ni 40 leh zan 40 sung Pasian tawh a kikholhkhop lai takun a sanggampa siampi Aron' kiangah Israel mite in, “Kithawi in; kote’ mai-ah a pai ding pasian hong bawlsak in.

Kineihkhemna leh milim biakna pen Pasian' adingin a kihuai mahmah hi cih phawkhuai hi.
