While I don’t approve of vandalism, there should be no such statue.

Exodus 20: (NKJV)

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth....

Leviticus 26: (NKJV)

1 ‘You shall not make idols for yourselves;
neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves;
nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it;
for I am the Lord your God.

Acts 17: (NIV)

29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.

Romans 1 (NIV)

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles

Isaiah 42: (NKJV)

I am the Lord, that is My name;
And My glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.

Isaiah 40: (NIV)

18 With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him?

No statues of Jesus. Ok. What about paintings? books? Should we just forget he ever existed?
