Well from my point of view, it's just a statue, the statue is not the god, it's just a representation. Just like the statue of Jesus Christ or Mary. A kid can also break off the hand of Jesus' statue.
Gbam!

The crucifixion of Christ was sacrificial, not because he could not save himself, but because it was necessary for the redemption of mankind.
Then same can be said of this Idol,
FYI,the Idol is not the god the man worships,its just a representation...just like Jesus statues all over which can also be broken (without saving itself)

The god the man worshipped was not the idol,the idol is what the child broke..what would you have said if the god had struck down the innocent child,or are u telling me if a child broke the hand of a Jesus statue,Jesus will strike such a child down to prove he is God?

Hope you know that most of these idols are not meant to be touched by anyone except the chief priest. The ones that were touched and destroyed by missionaries and colonial masters were sold as artifacts. That is the ones they could have access to

Well be informed that the crucifixion of Christ was part of the plan that brought him to earth in the first place, he would have scuttle that plan if he'd saved himself. And we wouldn't be here afterwards.

Why wouldnt we be here if one man was not executed by the Romans?

You say that that execution conquered sin, ko? Why is the world exactly the same - or even worse - after the so called ritual human sacrifice.

The funniest part about atheist is that the claim there is no God but spend time studying a God that doesn't exist. Jesus willing sacrificed himself on the cross. Now if someone who has been worshipping idols for 47 years , Wakes up one morning and sees the light , then don't you think he has a point worth listening to.
what about those worshipping Jesus for decades and become a pagan? do you think they "have a point worth listening to"?

Tell that to the man who figured the arm of his 'god' was ripped off by a 7 month old kid.

For starters, Christians do no concern themselves with the statue of Christ. It is purely idolatry. And while the likes of the man would pour oil, palm wine or break kolanut over the idol, the same cannot be said on the statues of Christ. Most importantly, those who ascribe worship to objects fail to see the bigger picture in the real scheme of things.

Too many problems with the narrative.
1. How old is his grand pa that he has worshipped "idols" for only 47 years.
2. Did his younger brother engage the idol in a fight that the idol could not fight for its life?

So Christianity is about ritual human sacrifice?
unfortunately, even if I typed a long post and started explaining from today till next week, you'd never agree that you are wrong. Has anyone been sacrificed in Christianity or u just felt like quoting me ?

Yes. The Christian God can defend Himself Exo. 14:14.He doesn't need a Boko Haram to use AK-47 to defend or propagate His course. Jesus Christ is the Lord forever

Are you saying Christianity is based on ritual human sacrifice?
this is one thing you guys don't understand, Christianity is not base in human sacrifice,it is base on what christ did for sinful men .

what is the wages of sin? death, who is guilty of sin? me,how can I be saved? a blameless Lamb who know no sin must paid for my sin (death) Jesus is the sinner substitute, he died my death.

I thought its the guy that asked the question.

Btw why you asking that kind of question if you are not an atheist?

And who told you Jesus wouldn't have helped himself if he wanted to. Seems you missed the part where he told Peter that he has àngels to fight for him if he desires.
nice response
