SUMMARY
1. It is a Mitzvah to give an Avodah Zarah a derogatory nickname.
2. If a Nochri worships a mountain or a hill, that mountain or hill is permitted, but the worshipper is put to death by sword.
3. If a Nochri worships plants or vegetables, they are forbidden. The worshipper is put to death by sword.
4. A Nochri is permitted to worship animals.
5. If a Nochri worships a rock which came loose from a mountain, there is a disagreement about whether it is forbidden.
6. If a Yisrael propped up a brick in order to worship it as an Avodah Zarah but he did not bow down to it, and a Nochri subsequently bowed down to it, the brick is forbidden.
7. If a Yisrael propped up an egg in order to worship it as an Avodah Zarah but he did not bow down to it, and a Nochri subsequently bowed down to, it is a Safek if the egg is forbidden.
8. An Esnan Zonah may not be used even for the construction of the Beis ha'Mikdash.
9. If something attached to the ground is worshipped as an Avodah Zarah, it is forbidden to be used toward the construction of the Mizbe'ach.
10. According to Rebbi Eliezer, an Esnan Zonah may be used for a Parah Adumah.
11. If the seventh day of a Temei Mes falls on Erev Pesach, the Mei Chatas with the ashes of the Parah Adumah may not be sprinkled on him.
12. If an animal is Nirva and then conceives and gives birth there, is a disagreement about whether the offspring may be offered as a Korban.

A BIT MORE
1. For example, if the name of the Avodah Zarah is "Beis Galya" ("tall mound"), it should be called "Beis Karya" ("deep pit").
2. Although one is permitted to derive benefit from the mountain, the Nochri is put to death by sword because he intended to serve it as an Avodah Zarah.
3. There is a disagreement among the Tana'im about whether the plants or vegetables are forbidden only when they were planted with the intention of being worshipped as Avodah Zarah, or even when they were not planted for that purpose.
4. The Torah prohibits offering as a Korban an animal which was worshipped as an Avodah Zarah. This implies that the animal is permitted for other uses.
5. According to one opinion, the rock is forbidden even though it is no longer attached to the ground, because a person had no hand in making it.
6. Since the Yisrael did an act to demonstrate that he is making it into an Avodah Zarah, he showed that he wanted it to be worshipped. Thus, when the Nochri worships it, the brick is forbidden even though it does not belong to him.
7. The Safek is that perhaps propping up an egg is not a discernible act that shows that he wants it to be worshipped, and thus it is not forbidden when the Nochri bows down to it, since a person does not have the power to prohibit an item to its owner.
8. The Torah states that an Esnan Zonah may not be brought to the house of Hashem. This implies that it may not be used toward the construction of the Beis ha'Mikdash.
9. This is derived through a Kal va'Chomer from Esan Zonah, which is forbidden to be used for the construction of the Beis ha'Mikdash.
10. The Torah states that an Esnan Zonah may not be brought to the house of Hashem; a Parah Adumah is brought on Har ha'Zeisim and not in the house of Hashem. The Chachamim derive from this verse that an Esnan Zonah may not be used even for the decorative gold tiles in the Heichal.
11. Even though Shechitah (an act which, normally, is prohibited mid'Oraisa on Shabbos) of the Korban Pesach is permitted on Shabbos, the sprinkling of the ashes is prohibited mid'Rabanan, and the person must wait until Pesach Sheni to bring his Korban Pesach.
12. According to the Tana Kama, it is permitted. According to Rebbi Eliezer, it is prohibited to bring the offspring as a Korban.
