When a Christian passes through temples, he will spit down upon the
smoking 
altars and blow them out.

As to rooting out the strange gods in every way, it has been commanded, 
“You shall utterly destroy all places where the pagans sacrifice to their 
gods. You shall overturn their pillars and dash them in pieces. You shall 
cut down their groves. You shall burn their graven images. You shall 
destroy their names.”

Tertullian, On Idolatry II; Scorpiace 2.
