we are aware that human brains can't comprehend anything which does not have a shape or picture. You can't imagine a vaccum or what a vaccum is? Humans have thus a qualified mind which fact can't be disputed. In this scenario, how can a human being visualise God without a form? It is simply impossible.
That is why, our ancestors have held the view that the idol worship in various forms to signify various aspects of God is a means by which a human can understand who and what is God? And this will ultimately lead one to realise oneness of God, Who doesn't have a shape but is only light of complete knowledge.
When God is one, then why should we have different forms of His? It is simple. A man or a woman plays so many roles in his/her life even though he/she is one. For example, a woman is a mother to her daughter/son, wife to her husband, a daughter to her parents and so on. After all, a human being takes so many roles. God has so many aspects and attributes to him. And so, our ancestors have devised various forms of God to understand God's true nature.
I think, we are indebted to our ancestors for devising methods to realise God. And so,idol worship is absolutely correct.
