Yes, some Christians claim it to be a gold or silver idol. They believe more focus is on the fact that one is fussing over gold, silver, diamonds, Gucci, Tiffany, etc. Therefore, one is truly focused on the idol and showing off the idol, rather than focusing on Christ. Just think of what Christ wanted in the bible, to sell all that, give the money to the poor, and then follow him. He foretells of two witnesses coming to warn us in sackclothes, not Tiffany.

Even without a cross, I think you can still see anti-Christian and anti-American actions coming from O.

Yet, it is interesting, OP.
