Interesting. I think there is a reason that statue is gold and dickless. I never made the Osiris connection, but that actually makes sense to me.
It turns out, both the cock and gold are more mysterious than I realized.

I think we're supposed to reject carnal desire to get closer to God. Even the Renaissance church was obsessed with cocks. You see it in their paintings primarily starting in that period. Some argue that the church was confirming Christ's power to overcome his own humanity. But I can't help wondering if these paintings were more about a turn of the church towards the more satanic (carnal). The Renaissance pictures of Jesus are extremely focused on the baby's cock. And I can't help associating that obsession with what we now know about satanic ritual rape + sacrifice.
