Interesting, like many of your posts which I've enjoyed reading recently, thank you !

But what has that photo of those statues in a private South Korean garden got to do with this article ? It seems very provocative and likely to offend some people.

But what has that photo of those statues in a private South Korean garden got to do with this article ?

It was meant to invoke the idea of dogma as ideas that we (internally) bow down to. Maybe it wasn't a perfect connection... I don't claim to spend copious hours curating the images.

It seems very provocative and likely to offend some people.

Maybe. There are several images in this post directly referencing religions and cultures. They could all cause someone offense, I suppose. I'm not inclined to change them at the moment. But I sincerely appreciate you pointing this out.

Perhaps you don't know the story behind these statues in which case you may care to read this article:

Ahhhh. Interesting. I did not know the history of those statues.

Much obliged.

No worries, I only wanted to be helpful. Now you've changed the image, perhaps we can delete these comments since they are just a distraction from the main content ?

I don't think I can delete them. But I've hidden the thread - which I'm pretty sure hides it for everyone else as well.
