Gaudy, vain and not very utilitarian. If someone made a statue of me like that, I'd burn it down too.

Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. - Acts 17:29

I suppose they should have built the stature out of "Solid Rock"

I also suppose the "Real" God didn't like them worshiping false idols!

You said it, Gifty!

This thing cost between 250K and 500K, and that's a lot of Ks. Couldn't they have given it to the poor, as Jesus commanded?

haha, nature scores against God once again!

Big Butter Jesus is a stupid name. Call it Touchdown Jesus like is proper!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

O father, why hast thou forsaken me?

Everyone knows "Big Butter" is a much better name for a Jesus than "Touchdown".

Yeah, but the locals call it "Touchdown Jesus" due to it looking like he's signaling a touchdown. Looking at the post times though, he did beat me by a day

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
Ezekiel 25:17

That's what happens when you build huge metal lightning rods and cover them with timber.
