We know that there are no such things as idols. They are lifeless, impotent, and major dust collectors. So lets not empower them with our own witch-hunt, making them into something that has dominion in our lives.
If a pagan did something in service/worship to a lie, a non-existent, man-made deity, how can that have ANY potency in my life unless I willingly do the same?
Pagan activity with their idols, including the meat they offered to these "non-eaters" is nothing.

Please don't take this as a jab, but can I have the short version of what you were trying to say?
