I took a shower and had breakfast, and I stll don't understand ANYTHING this couple says.
Seriously, what have the dolphins ever done to you? They would be the last things I would think of as satanic!
Do you even know what horseshoes are FOR? They're for putting on horses, or throwing at rings in moments of boredom. They're not satanic in any way! Where do you get these ideas!? What about these animals being the creatures of GOD? Oh, but I promise that if I ever see a unicorn, I'll burn it on sight. Mmmm, unicorn burgers.
Collections?
Why no collections? While I agree I never did like it when the government collected my taxes or the teacher collected my homework (or lack thereof, depending) I would rate your collection of crosses as a 14 on the scale of hypocricy from 1-10.
From the website: "You do not have to worship any item for it to be idolatry. Just having these things in your home give demons legal right to be in your home.
Does that mean that if I don't have any of those things (HAH) I can take them to court and win?
I checked out the site, and it's mostly quotes about what defines an idol or passages from the bible about how God hates people who worship false idols. No mention of the above things...there are a couple mentions of the Wrath of God over little things (This type of Fundie likes it old-testament style) but again, no mention of why any of these things are bad.
There's some silly crap about sundials halfway down the page, and apparently now they're classed as demon-idols, instead of something in the catagory of WATCHES.
This definitely merits a picture.

Yeesh, I've never met such a short pair of paragraphs that made me rant like this.
P.S. the music on that page SUCKS! At first I thought it was just looping the opening passage from an uninspiring hymn, but then I realized it wasn't looping at all. I bet that's what living in their house sounds like. Continual looping of the most boring hymns ever written. I'm sure 20 years of that would turn ANYONE'S brain into mush.

Let's just extrapolate the general trend all authoritative religions tend to take and skip straight to the final version, shall we?

Allowable items: Subsistence food with minimal texture and flavour; plain sackcloth garments with no ornamentation or pattern, covering as much as possible and providing warmth, but no other form of comfort. Luxury items: One bible (or other relevant holy book) each, plainly bound with no illustrations and absolutely no commentary, introduction, historical notes, etc; certain kinds of rocks (but not too many, and none with interesting patterns, colours or crystals in them).

If in doubt, perform this simple test: Does it allow or provide any kind of human happiness or stimulation beyond that gleaned from its simply keeping you barely alive? If so, it is sinful and absolutely forbidden.

"Some accursed objects are: owls, frogs, unicorns, dolphins, dragons, horseshoes;"

Ok, unicorns and dragons don't exist. And just because owls frogs and dolphins are smarter then you is no reason to want them destroyed.

"items from other countries such as Africa, *China*, Japan;"

YOU can destroy all your possessions, I'll keep mine tyvm. And did you just call Africa a *country*?!

"American Indian artifacts, carvings, pictures, buddha statutes."

Just dumb.

"Dolls and stuffed animals - dolls originated in voodoo. Paisley pattern on anything."

I'm running out of insults...

"Nike is a Greek god, according to the dictionary."

Nike is a Goddess actually. But I am impressed you own a dictionary, it's not from China, is it? You better destroy it if it is.

"Collections, Pictures of movie stars, some items passed down from ancestors, Shamrocks, Any kind of good luck charm, Statues, Oriental objects, African items, Indian items, American Indian items, Any items that are used in witchcraft, The Book of Mormon, satanic bible, Books on other religions, Rock and roll music, etc."

I... ugh... I don't even know where to start with this section.
