Touchdown Jesus - I remember seeing that and thinking “WTF?” while heading south for some caving.
Shh, you’re going to give Fred Phelps ideas. Next thing we know, he’ll be headed there with his acolytes, waving around “God Hates Fiberglass” signs or something.
Who insures something like that?
“State farm speaking, how may I help you?”
“Id like fore insurance.”
“for a home or business?”
“well… A church”
“Okay, we can–”
“Not just a church, see… A 60 foot Jesus sticking out of our front pond also.”
“…”
We used to call that Drowning Jesus. It was tacky as anything, but I sort of hope they rebuild it. We’d play a game with the kids to see who could be the first to spot Drowning Jesus.
Thread posted last night. I’ve let the mods know that there’s two on the subject.
Dear Pastors Lawrence and Darlene Bishop and Parishioners of Solid Rock Church of Monroe, OH:
Think again. That was a warning shot.
Regards,
THE LORD

I live near that thing. Good riddance to the golden calf.
Gives new meaning to, “Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life…”

Is it attached to the church? Or is it just out front? Hard to tell from the pictures, but if it is attached they were lucky it didn’t burn the whole church down.
Still, wouldn’t it be great if they could manage to put it back up on the third day? Oooohhh Ahhhhhh! ! !
My, but was that ever tacky. Can’t really blame God for striking that one down.
They church says its going to rebuild it…the thing cost the church $250,000 originally.
Which of course begs the question: do Christian churches have insurance against “acts of God”?
Guess they’ll have to add another verse about destruction
Cause besides the statue it was a nice church.
“Everything about the church was nice but-her Jesus”
Well, I don’t know about that, but I do think God (especially Zeus) hates Christians who built a statue out of flamable materials with a metal frame that’s the highest point on the landscape.
Was this lightning fire not just waiting to happen?
Duckster, there was already a thread, I merged this one into it.
The original thread title, “Big Butter Jesus is no more,” was apparently not helping people realize there was already a thread, so I changed it to something more descriptive.

All I can say is Holy Smoke!
That was my thought, too. God hates eyesores.
