The Shroud of Turin

I know the Shroud of Turin is very well known by many, but personally I sort of ruled against it. I was wondering what your thoughts may be about the following thoughts. No debate, just a friendly Christian discussion. Thank you.
The Shroud of Turin
Jesus Christ Would Not Violate The Second Commandment There were no cameras in ancient times, and yet we know what many people from the time of Christ looked like, from coins, statues and etchings. But not a single image of Christ was made by the thousands of people who knew exactly what He looked like. Why? Because they would not violate the Second Commandment - and neither would the Son of God by having His image produced on a cloth for millions to idolize as they do with that shroud. The Shroud of Turin, when it is used to worship, is a blatant violation of the Second Commandment against making religious images. "You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" (Exodus 20:4 KJV)
