How Robert Wells Became a Living Example in Being a Righteous Noahide!
It is an obligation to eliminate the worship of idols when it comes
under one’s domain, including its service, and all that is done for it and
pertains to it, to the extent that the name of the idol should have no
remnant left there, as it says, “You shall utterly destroy all the places
where the nations that you are dispossessing worshiped their gods…
And you shall break apart their altars; you shall smash their pillars; and
their asherah trees you shall burn in the fire; their carved images you
shall cut down; and you shall obliterate their names [of those idols]
from that place.” (If an idol comes into one’s possession, it should
be either destroyed or “nullified,” .)
This obligation is placed both on the individual and the public as a
whole. It is forbidden for one to preserve in his domain any worship of
idols or things that pertain to it, and it is likewise the obligation of every government of every nation and its courts to remove all idol worship from its borders, since it is forbidden to preserve idol worship in any place or time, as it says, “You shall have no other gods before Me” – “before Me,” meaning in any place or time that I, God, am there (i.e., anywhere and any time), you shall have no other deities.
