A proponent of aniconism.

Examples

“As can be legitimately surmised the aniconists must have rejected those texts which to them appeared to support Iconolatory, but from the point of view of the evolution of Jaina thought the texts rejected by them deserve as serious notice as those accepted by them.”

“But idolatry means more than iconism. It is a polemical term which expresses a strong cultural/religious abomination and anxiety. With the term "idolatry," the "aniconists" refer to the "iconists" as the group where the strongest menace resides.”

“According to the aniconists, images idolize the world and blind the eyes from being able to look beyond the world and focus on the creator.”
