Welcome back to Christian Breaking News. Today, we’re diving into a debate that hits at the heart of faith, public spaces, and Christian values — all sparked by one statue in Texas.

The ‘Statue of Union’ was unveiled in August 2024, towering 90 feet high, with cultural performances celebrating Indian-American faith and heritage.

Texas Republican leader Alexander Duncan called the statue a “false god” and said the U.S. is a Christian nation, sparking nationwide outrage.
He added, “I’m just calling it what it is, an IDOL,” and quoted verses from the Bible:
“You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.” — Exodus 20:3-4
“They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.” — Romans 1:25
His remarks drew sharp criticism from the Hindu American Foundation, which labeled them anti-Hindu and inflammatory.

This debate isn’t just local — it touches on bigger issues: religious pluralism in public spaces, freedom of religion, and America’s cultural diversity.
