Well I feel better that our articles and pics are different and I'll add this youtube video of it actually burning.
Two of my kids live in that area so you can imagine that there's quite a stir about it this morning.

Tag teamin' ya....must be a plot!
Even though it was constructed of plastic foam and fiberglass, it was make to look as solid as a rock, for rock solid faith, just like the name of the church, the Solid Rock Church. Whoops. You can't make this stuff up.
There are just too many jokes to pick just one, I'm tellin' ya.
Every time I drove by there I wondered why a church would have a statue of Zeus out there. Or maybe it was Poseidon, since it's coming out of the water. So, it was Touchdown Jesus, eh? Being a Bengals fan, that explains why I never made the connection to a touchdown.

imagine if there had been a big "paper mache" volley ball hanging in the air.....he would have been a "setter"....
It is a sign I tell ya, a sign..the end is near....
It's raining very hard here in Augusta, Ga., but it's not raining frogs, so I think we're O.K. for the time being.
Deuteronomy 4:23-24
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
That, or God is a lactose intolerant God, and Big Butter Jesus just didn't sit right.
I only hope that instead of taking another quarter of a million dollars or so and rebuilding something so big and gaudy and ugly and fake on a self-promotion that they'll take that money and put it to some actual good use, like feeding the hungry or something.

“People all across the world have looked at this,” he said.
Obviously, they haven't had to drive by it.
“I know that these people here are devastated by this loss, but they will pick up, move on and they’ll build this back, and move on and continue doing what they do,” he said.
Devastated? Really? Devastated? It's a fiberglass and Styrofoam Jesus, fer Christ's sake.
“The giant Jesus’ right hand is on fire, is it supposed to be that way?” one 911 caller asked the dispatcher. <snicker>
In 2007, a bolt blasted the 33-foot Jesus statue at Mother Cabrini Shrine in Golden, Colo. One of Jesus's arms just fell right off.
In 2008, lightning singed the fingers and eyebrows of Christ the Redeemer, the 130-foot Jesus statue that stands over Rio de Janeiro.
Actor James Caviezel was struck by lightning in 2003 while filming Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." He was playing Jesus.
See? Coincidence really does exist.
We can always count on lightening strikes to engage the what-does-it-mean section of the brain. Pat Robertson divined that the meaning of Hurricane Katrina was punishment for abortion, and the Haitian earthquake as punishment for an historic pact with the Devil. He has declined to interpret the significance of the lightning strike of Touchdown Jesus. I'm leaning towards blaming a certain Toledo-based expediting company.
Fortunately, Darlene Bishop, co-pastor of Solid Rock Church has provided the significance of the lightening strike that incinerated Giant Jesus - "It's just some fiberglass."
Hey, the National Weather Service's Lightning Safety Week starts Sunday! Soooo, click the link, read the information, do what it says, save your life. God works in mysterious ways.

Whata you think, it has two lighting rods as arms.

For all the jokes about it (it was used in MANY O-H-I-O pics

Being a gross violation of the second commandment, I'm quite happy to see it gone.

Hey, me and Turtle agree! Mark this date on the calendar, or something.
