It's the statues of Coach Jesus with the tiny hint of paedophilia that I think are impressive. Worth looking at the different sports.

I wouldn't call that tasteless (metaphorically; I haven't tried it, so can't comment on its literal taste). Anyway, it's political, not religious.

I wish the adherants of the cult of Orangeism believed as you - and for that matter I - do.
Trust me; they do not.

What I HATE - and I mean hate - their penguin wddles as they play their music - badly - at 8:30 in the morning as they parade past my house.
Some of the stuff they play is innofensive; simple folksy-type tunes - but they also intersperse the 23rd Psalm (tune 'Crimmond') with "No surrender" and "The sash my father wore" - which really gets me angry.
So, no; they are an amalgum of sectarian hate with religio-politicval anachronisms and a bad take on history.
