Oooh! You could finance the project by making plush toys for kids and call them “My Little Christ on a Pony”!
He needs a sign in his hands that says, “I live…again!”
What no one else has mentioned is that the roof Solid Rock is lined in blue neon lighting, and also sports a large flashing highway-side sign that is visible at least a half a mile away. The GJ is also rising from the bed of a drained rectangular pond, which I presume may be filled again in the spring, after GJ has time to put down roots.
As evidenced by my location, I live just a few miles from this monstrosity. To call it the scariest most hideous and just plain wrong fucking thing I have ever seen is an understatement. Everything about it is ugly from the facial expression to the postion of the arms to the cross lying on the ground beside it.
It is depicted from the waist up and there is supposed to be a reflecting/baptismal pond in front of it. I can hardly wait.
The most hypocritical part is that the Bishop’s are simply not very nice people. They are tacky and garish and their multi multi million dollar church, house and horse stables are equally so.
The general consensus is that the church is a front for his horse farm/drug business. Mr Bishop (Larry) was convicted of smuggling illegal performance inhancing drugs via the horse’s GI tract several years ago and I believe he spent prison time for it.
Yet, they were so self righteous they formed a committee (The citizens for decency?) to try to ban the building of a Hustler store a couple of miles from their church. Of course they were unsuccessful so they did the next best thing; members of their church picketed the store and hurled insults as customers entered and existed the store (Sinnners! you are going straight to hell on a greased pole)
I am ashamed to live in this area anymore.
I love the part where it says “in March of 1986 Darlene was physically attacked with sickness in her body but was miraculously healed by June of that same year”
Uhm, OK. I’ve got terrible lungs, always have and about twice a year I become so ill that I have to go on medical leave for weeks at a time. I always thought I got better because I took my medicine and treatments and gave my body time to heal.
Do you think I’ve been getting miraculously healed all this time and just didn’t know it? :rolleyes:
Not to be outdone by the damned colonists, Lisbon erected a 110 meter tall Jesus near the bridge that spans the Tejo River. 110 meters tall including the pedestal, I’m assuming.
Effective though. I’m not religious, but if I saw that when I was driving down the road I’d start praying.
Jesus needs a trident.
That cross is totally not to scale. There’s not way you could fit the Giant Jesus on there (or even the Giant Half of a Jesus). It’s like they must have crucified the Baby Jesus instead.
Also, I just realized why the facial features are so disturbing:
“What would God need with a giant statue of himself?”
Apparently, the Giant Jesus has been resurrected… or the Giant Jesus thread at least…
Well, I can only remember one song with these (appx) lyrics, and that is Plastic Jesus by (rev) Mojo Nixon and Jello Biafra. Just love the song. Even better is their Are you drinkin’ with me Jesus which includes the immortal lines of
I know you can walk on the water,
but can you walk on this much beer
Mojo has a few Jesus-songs, f.ex. I’m living with a 3 foot anti-christ and Jesus at McDonalds
Mojo at www.allmusic.com I hope
Mojo’s great, but Plastic Jesus is a Gold Coast Singers original from 1960.
Most people probably associate it with the movie Cool Hand Luke, though-- Paul Newman sang it in that fine film.
Jesus Christ, king of the Muffler Men?
Apparently, he doesn’t even rate. A MufflerMan search with “jesus” as the keyword only turns up one result:
I guess it might come in handy to have a reliable carpenter installed on your deck.
Oddly enough, none of those songs are by MC 900 Foot Jesus.
“Brains, brains!”
Then there’s the Touchdown Jesus, visible from inside the football stadium at the University of Notre Dame.

They used to say, “in South Bend,” but now it’s Notre Dame, IN, with its own zip code.
Who is this? Jesus’ sister? June, daughter of God…
The names you use are confusing. Can we just call them Jeezilla and Jeezookie instead?
