Texan breaks $1 million in art objects,
because he thinks they displease God
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Shattered
religious artifacts worth $1 million are "swimming
with the fish" at the bottom of a lake after a
wealthy, born-again Christian businessman
destroyed them because he thought they
displeased God, a television evangelist says.
James Robison said he and industrialist
Cullen Davis broke up the gold, silver, jade and
ivory objects — mostly figures associated with
Eastern religions that Davis had collected — after
Robison found a Bible verse that called them
"abominations.”
Davis, who is in the oil equipment business,
has said he found Christ after two sensational
murder trials. He was acquitted of killing his
9-year-old stepdaughter during a 1976 shooting
spree at his mansion, and found innocent of trying
to buy the death of a judge hearing a bitter divorce
case
The two men smashed the carvings in a
parking lot outside Davis’ Fort Worth mansion,
Robison said Monday
"We went out into the garage and he got
hammers and we went out there in his parking lot
and destroyed $1 million worth of jade, ivory and
gold — all of it," Robison said.
The shattered remains were then swept from
the lot and dumped into a local lake, Jim Rogers,
executive director of Robison's ministry, said
Monday
"They're swimming somewhere with the fish
at the bottom," Rogers said He refused to identify
the iake.
"We so disfigured it, I don't think it would
have been worth much," Robison said in a
copyright story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Davis had donated the art objects, mostly
figures associated with Eastern religions, to
Robison in September. The gift would have paid
debts that threatened to end Robison's national
television ministry.
Davis has an unlisted number and could not
be reached for comment Monday. But Robison
said the millionaire wanted no publicity
"I spoke to him today and he told me he
doesn’t want attention about this," Robison said
"He said he knows why he did it. Those were
objects he had collected all his life, and when he
thought they might be displeasing to the Lord, he
destroyed them.”
The objects, some of them adorned with
precious jewels, had been stored in a Dallas vault,
and were appraised and ready for auction.
Among the objects, which had been dis
played in glass cases that lined the halls of Davis'
mansion, was a jade statue over four feet tall
valued at about $500,000, Robison said. There
also were statues of Hindu holy men, gold-topped
pagodas and figures of temple dogs.
"Cullen said many of them were gods
ordered carved for emperors and after they were
finished, the artist would be put to death," Robi
son said. "He felt anything associated with the
godless or non-Christian worship — anything that
had to do with idols — was something not to be
welcomed into your home "
