What would the Methodist founders of Vanderbilt think?

I don't think Commodore Vanderbilt would think that he went through all this trouble so that the Chaplain would use a Neolithic pagan fertility idol to represent religious life at Vanderbilt.

Really, are the PC Police so rough that in order not to offend anyone you have to use an idol from and extinct pagan cult in the theory that you won't offend anyone. In fact, I think the seriously religious from the three main monotheisitc religions find it highly offensive.

The Left will take over everything if they are allowed. Ask Henry Ford.
