You’re quite right about Stamford, of course; after all, North Stamford is Fazio’s district, too. I’m just bitter that Bobby Valentine lost the Stamford mayoral race. Just my curmudgeon kicking in : )

Those Towns aren’t the problem. It’s Stamford, Bridgeport and Norwalk that put embarrassments like Jim Hines in office.
In the State Senate, Greenwich and New Canaan are represented by Ryan Fazio (R), who’s been running ads on Fox for the Republican Primary for Governor for a few months already. Yes, he’d have a tough road ahead of him in the general if he were to win the primary, but that’s why he’s doing what he can to shore up his financial support from his constituents now.
Pagan or otherwise, no one literally believes statues are gods, any more than he believes a Lamborghini Countach is a god. The point of statuary is much like that of religious architecture - to summon up a properly awestruck/religiously-inspired frame of mind.
In 1 Cor 15:14, Paul makes an astonishing claim: His faith and preaching would be pointless were Christ’s Resurrection not an historical reality. The specific point of the crucifix is not to anthropomorphize a formless deity or depict a mythical event but to depict an historical reality; for if Christ did not have a real body and die a real death, neither would He be truly risen.
