I think it would be better if Buddhists stopped using images of Buddha.

I understand before his death the Buddha was asked how he should be represented and he instructed it should be an empty seat, though I'm not sure where this passage is.

A better way of gauging someones respect for the Buddha, or lack therof, would be how consistantly do they put his teaching into practice.
