Too bad, but it's only viewable on YouTube.

(146,288 posts)3. I did. I just thought you should be aware.

(60,536 posts)4. I understand and appreciate the thought behind the comment. However, there are two links
in the OP, one to the video on AFP and the other to YouTube; I'm sure interested viewers don't have a problem stepping away from DU for about 40 to 45 seconds. Would you agree, MM?

(146,288 posts)5. You're probably right.
However, many DUers do not even bother to click links to major stories.
I thought it was an interesting video. It's a pity that many will not see it. It's a testament to plaster gods, decorated with spray paint and fake jewels. As such, it's a fine illustration of the artificial nature of religion.

You said it, I didn't.

Thanks, I thought so too. Many will not see it but, I'll bet an opinion will be voiced about it by at least one of those non-viewers
