Cherry picked? Only in your mind!
Bell towers and landmarks are excuses for continuing pagan symbolism and you are just another apologist for baal worship with a Christian name.
Steeples, Easter Eggs, Christmas Trees...make excuses and justifications to ease your conscience I don’t care.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
If anyone’s an apologist for baal worship it’s those seeing a phallus everywhere and anywhere.
