Catholics in India are seeking to erect the nation’s tallest statue of Jesus, over objections by Hindi groups who say one of their gods lives on the hill designated for the project.
Work began last week on the statue, planned to be nearly 100 feet tall, on 10 acres of land owned by the Archdiocese of Bangalore. If completed, the statue would be almost as tall as Poland’s 108-foot Christ the King statue, completed in 2010. Poland’s statue is believed to be the tallest statue of Jesus in the world.
Hindu groups have opposed the project, objecting that the Kapalabetta hilltop is the abode of their deity Kapali Betta. They said Christians cannot set up a statue there.

Of course we love our Hindu brothers and sisters. But sometimes we need to corner them, start talking about the 30 years war, and remind them to get their shit together.

Sacred places is idolatry.
Protestants are the Taliban of Christianity, Homes
we do not blow up statues merely do not build them.
more mindless blather
"Protestants are the Taliban of Christianity, Homes" I think so too. Plus you don't want to give a person a bible and tell him he can be his own Pope. Thats a formula for craziness. I think the Orthodox Church is in the best shape right now. I like the Catholics but they have been infiltrated. Thats pretty easy to see. The latest fellow is clearly an apostate and up to no good.
