For most of us, that's the point.
I agree and I think my post a couple up above summarizes that sentiment.

Some folks are miserable and unhappy and it comes out online.....in several threads, I might add.
yep, I've seen it many times from certain posters. It's sad when you have to resort to intentionally upsetting people to make yourself happy

Yes the trend started years ago in fewer idols to adore. BUT you know can't do anything with a statue now without being accused of erasing history or religion.

An independent Catholic school in San Anselmo, California, has sparked the ire of some parents after officials removed and relocated a large number of religious statues, reportedly including those of Jesus and Mary, in order not to alienate children of other faiths.
A statue can "alienate" a child of another faith.

Where did that narrative come from?
