Touchdown Jesus Burned to the Ground - Struck Down By God

I guess God was NOT that pleased with Touchdown Jesus:

Quote:

(AP) MONROE, Ohio — A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.

The "King of Kings" statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.

The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.

The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.

The fire spread from the statue to an adjacent amphitheater but was confined to the attic area, and no one was injured, police Chief Mark Neu said. The fire department would release a monetary damage estimate Tuesday, he said.

Maybe it was Jeebus who sent the lightning bolt.

i'm trying to come up with a witty and clever comment............hmmmmmm.....nope, nothing.

quantum-x 06-15-2010 07:55 AM

Ahahahahaha
Holy Shit.

I drove past that thing and was amazed every single time I saw it - an abomination to the eyes, but hilarious at the same time.

This is brilliant.

:1orglaugh All I can think of is how worked up the preacher is going to get his congregation come Sunday. He can spin this story to scare the sheep into doing anything.

LOL, of course.


I think the preacher will find a way to spin it, like this is god's test, the story of Job, etc etc. To be honest though, when a bolt of lightning strikes a hideous monstrosity made of plastic and fiberglass and burns it to the ground, it seems to me at least, that if there is a god he has made his intentions pretty fucking clear. :1orglaugh

I agree, only imported solid white marble. God does not approve of cheap imitations...

Un-huh! See! They were having those Tea Party meetings in there. :1orglaugh

I use to drive by that thing all the time, you have no idea how huge it really is.

"You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their father's wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation"

So maybe he's jealous of all the attention his son was getting? :winkwink:

On the contrary this event is giving his "son" more attention... just like when he got him crucified :1orglaugh.

I remember when they were building that fucking thing they had Jesus' head in the field by itself for a while, and they ended up having to put a big tarp over it because people kept stopping and they were afraid it might get vandalized. The thing looked like it was stone, but it was actually plaster, Styrofoam, and a bunch of other shitty materials...

That passage always made me wonder how insecure the christian god was.

Seriously dude, you are god, get some self esteem.

Sly 06-15-2010 06:38 PM

I always figured God to be a fan of football...

Thank you Jesus!

TheDoc 06-15-2010 08:52 PM

Fact: God hates football

Relentless 06-15-2010 08:59 PM

The real question is... did he catch the lightning or was the pass incomplete? :1orglaugh
