Or does it need to be in a temple to be adorable.
Time always cause changes especially after few thousand years.
Do the so called Buddhists follow what Buddha said?
Do the so called Christians follow what Christ said.
Of course not.
Nobody really follow the original message that is why spirituality turned into religion.
I can understand that Buddha or Christ or almost anybody else wouldn't wanted to see their images worship.
They rather wished that people coming later on follow the same spirituality that they were teaching but nothing really go according anyone plane.
It never happen it never will that is why after 3 or so thousand of years most people turn spirituality into a religion of worship with some exceptions.
Your lack of vision need to be sorted out mate.

Your kids may like to ply with different toys.
One like this one like that.
Why not let them ply with what they like most?
Quote: So you having a statue automatically means you worship it? Do you think gardeners worship gnomes? The Buddha is their end goal, not their god. It reminds them what they should be striving for.
How many Buddhists have you interview to know what they think about Buddha?
