'Idol' in the Bible

Now concerning eating food offered to idols: We know that no idol is real in this world and that there is only one God.

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak.

However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat food that has been offered to an idol, and no better off if we do.

Am I suggesting that an offering made to idols means anything, or that an idol itself means anything?
