When people got upset over the P**s Christ “art”, designed to offend Christians, I said “It is ONLY a piece of shaped brass in a bottle of urine. Nothing more!”
Even St Paul did not get upset over the nude statues of the Roman gods in Athens, but used the one empty alter “To the unknown god” to proclaim Jesus.
As I’ve said many times, the line between veneration of a statue and worshiping the statue is very fine.

Actually, it is something more.
“Even St Paul did not get upset over the nude statues of the Roman gods in Athens,”
Apparently you’ve never read the Bible. Acts 17:16: “While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols.”
“but used the one empty alter “To the unknown god” to proclaim Jesus.”
Altar, not “alter”.
“As I’ve said many times, the line between veneration of a statue and worshiping the statue is very fine.”
No, it is not. There is a huge difference between being struck by lightning and being struck by a lightning bug.
