IS this true??

I read comment which goes like this "Hindu people r always accused of worshiping idols and also for having demi Gods! and I find almost all hindu Youth take a very defencive approach as they themselves were confused or somthing.This makes non Hindu feel more comfortable!! Why cant u follow each and every word of the Holy religious Texts!!!We do, however, employ sacred imagery in our worship, and as focus points to concentrate on during meditation. These sacred images can be in the form of a statue, a portrait, or a mandala or yantra. A similar use of sacred imagery is found in almost every other religion on earth. This practice is similar to how Catholics venerate statues of saints, Protestants pray at the cross and Muslims pray toward the Ka'aba. Followers of Sanatana Dharma are certainly intelligent to understand that the Unlimited ultimately cannot be fully expressed in a limited statue or image. Simultaneously, however, if God truly is omnipresent and omnipotent, then He certainly has the ability to make Himself present in a sacred image if He so chooses. Moreover, if God is truly merciful and good, then He would want to choose to make Himself as accessible to His devotees as possible. Such is the grace of God. It is with this understanding in mind that followers of Sanatana Dharma engage in the ancient science of archana-seva, or deity worship. The practice of employing sacred imagery is a very powerful tool for showing our devotion to God, for meditation, and for making spiritual progress. This fact is actually acknowledged and practiced by most of the world’s religions.
Also,Why there cant be more than one God!!! Anyone who believs in Hinduism have to accept that.There is a Supreme God definately...
