This is sad. Outraged catholics have demanded the removal of a 6 foot statue of Jesus made out of chocolate. They say the timing of the exhibit, coming up to Easter, is especially designed to provoke anger. I think it is a pity that they can't see the irony in the statue. A time when we should be thinking of his crucifixion, instead is a time when people think about sweets. Bringing the two together presents that juxtaposition and should make people ponder on what the real meaning of Easter is.

How true! I'm with you (hey we agree) pity people at times worship the book, icon, statue, image, memory and not the Living God.
I'm not sure why people are so often determined to believe things are done, deliberately and maliciously, to upset them. There are some vindictive people, but more often, people are just thoughtless, selfish or lazy. There is a big difference.
