That is possible, I suppose... but it should not be the case.Thank you,for your input
I think most of people don't accept that other people make jokes about their top beliefs.

What is wrong with those people who think that a human can be God?

I hereby open myself up to the best jokes you can come up with about my beliefs and religion! I have probably heard of them all.
Likewise. But be warned, I am a terrible joker...
"How many schools of Hinduism exist? It depends. Is it noon already?"
"Is Buddhism a form of Hinduism? Sure. Of course not. Maybe. It depends. What answer do you prefer?"
"Why can't Hindus decide on the number of arms and the skin color of their Devas? Because of the availability of colored ink. Oh, right, the distribution of extra arms has been very difficult in some seasons as well."
"So, is Hinduism monotheistic, henotheistic, polytheistic, monist, atheistic or what?
Yes. Mainly 'what', but yes."
Fantasy perceptions of the world? Like thinking the physical is real without having anything non-physical able to provide verification of that reality, thus knowing it is an illusion, but ought to be treated as real anyway? Those kind of fantasy perceptions? Might want to check which is the pretend world, where defense, education and health are all done in pretend ways.
Seeing the divine in everyone takes Innocence and Courage. Seeing the opposite is not really seeing.
Not bad! Your joke standard is made up for by your knowledge of Hinduism!
Maybe I should start a dedicated thread - 'Your Best Mocking Jokes About My Religion'.

Hmm trap, I like that word. Like a spider web. Violation breads violation. %65 of Brazilians are Catholics. If Catholic religion is a violated religion, then it only breads violation.
Yes I gotta agree with you people will lose their jobs. However those people can go work in the airport, because more people would want to come to that nation. I mean think about of what kind of publicity it would give to the Brazil. Brazil will be all over the news in the world. #1 topic in every country. Think of what kind of money it could bring back. I think Brazil has a bigger potential with out that statue. That statue is sabotaging the nation.

Violation breads violation.
Violation breads violation.
God is omnipresent, which means you're not exempt from being God.

Look up Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Norway and Iceland rates on there. Norway and Iceland are Christian. They also have statues. That should make it clear your hypothesis doesn't work.
I think violence rate, relate much with poverty and reachable of guns case.

Uh, are you saying that the existence of the Cristo Redentor somehow violates Catholicism?
I am sure that would surprise many a Catholic. They seem to have even less of a problem with the statue than I do.
It is just a statue. It sort of implies that there are many Christians in Rio. And since that is quite true, I fail to see why that is a problem.
Uh, no.
Tourism is not at all likely to soar due to a lack of statue, I think.
Trust me, it is a fairly pleasant statue all things told. It is not like it irradiates a field of hate or anything.

There is an action and a reaction. Since that statue is an action, and if the action is violated, then you would have a violated reaction, that would spread like a decease.
I don't even know what the violation would be. At this point I am honestly not sure whether you approve of removing the statue.
It truly feels like you are seeing it as much bigger a deal than most anyone in Brazil.
See, it is not even the tallest religious statue in Brazil anymore.

I agree with poverty, but think education and youth culture have a lot to do with it. Are we educating the younger generations to right conduct? In my country we have a very high amount of guns in hands of civilians, but not much murders or violence. Our richer neighbor has much less guns, but more violence and murder...
Doesn't even come close to the Statue of Liberty
What do we think about the Lord Murugan statue at Batu Caves, Malaysia?

Norway and Iceland have very low rates there also.
