Came across an Anglo-Catholic clergyman who appears to be going through some kind of beef with his Bishop on Instagram.

This is idiotic. The pagan is stupid for comparing a statue made in 1866 to picture of 21st century mass-produced crap. The Christian is stupid for comparing what presumably is a crude ancient artifact from one pagan culture (I can't even trace the image back) with Bernini's 1683 statue of Longinus, itself carved in the tradition of statuary coming from the pagan Romans. It doesn't even matter, this argument. "Hurrr, durrr, my religion looks cooler". It's about ideas, you two stupid dolts.

This is why you hear news of 6th graders finding new types of fishes because they're the only ones with enough childlike wonder left to love the game for the game's own sake and not get discouraged by the fact that "oh, there's no point, it's all been discovered", and what do they do? Discover something.
