Talmud: Avodah Zarah 55

Thank you for your message.ref:Rashi Commentary Deuteronomy 4:19“which the Lord… assigned:”Comments:7:07‘People go to those places they worship their idol, and it works for them how do you explain that?’-answer:It is a social norm that is adhered to, and they have not ever actually experienced anything real.17:49“And you are going to see all the Heavenly Bodies and you are going to know that all of the goyim worship it”-response:who does this science?19:29“That G-d smooths the path of the Idolaters with words”19:34‘meaning with nothing’-response:respectfully words are not nothing.The means by which man integrates knowledge and knowledge is one of the means by which man acts.my understanding G-d did not form the words of some idolaters wickedly errant men did.They are extremely tricky, and it takes quite some time to undo yourself.However, here:19:“sun,and the moon, and the stars” Pagans?“all the host of heaven”Planets and Angels including Satan?A specific type of idolatry or all?
