21. I thought that this . . .

. . . was your point: "My guess is that certain Christians (not all, this is not Xian bashing) so need to subjugate every thought to their religion that they voted over and over again to make this a Wonder."

And MY point was, the identity of the statue as that of Christ is likely incidental, and that if it were indeed a statue of Julio Inglesias, a bunch of nationalistic Brazilians would have still voted for it over and over again.

Maybe the Sistine Chapel would have made the list in lieu of the Rio statue if, for instance, Italians cared as much for this stupid online contest as (I suspect) a bunch of Brazilians did.
