I'm always kind of glad when articles don't focus on explaining the crazy, even if that's the interesting part. Like you and I would be curious to know what delusions this person was suffering, but printing the story just shares and normalizes those delusions among other religious folks. "Oh, those statues depicted left handed mythological figures? Well, in that case, I agree, smash all the sinister south paws, and murder anyone who stands in your way. It's what Jesus would have done."
