Well apparently this storm decided he needed to burn. He was struck by lightning, engulfed in flames and utterly destroyed.

"Touchdown Jesus" Struck By Lightning. |

"Touchdown Jesus" struck by lightning.
OK, so roughly an hour or so ago we had some severe storms roll through. About 10mi north of me theres this giant Jesus statue that Solid Rock Church built a few years back. After its construction it became a /b/tards wet dream on 4chan, and the subject of many religious jokes/lolimages.

Thats awful.
I'm going tomorrow to take pictures. Only the steel frame is left supposedly. I'll post if I manage to get any.

It's not a waste, it's certainly too extravagent for my tastes, but if they have the money, and they're doing it for the right reasons, why not? ![]() ![]() THUNDER V!... ouch... the irony of this news is hilarious. that money can be used for a better cause than a big statue

For a second I thought you were quoting yourself <.< too many galka avatars. Amusingly, we just had an earthquake here in SoCA shortly after Touchdown Jesus burned down.

I live just a few miles away from that giant jesus statue, 'round Cinci. I find it both hilarious and shocking that this happened. Perhaps jesus thought ill of his strange representation, and smited "big butter jesus." Either way, that storm just ripped through here not long ago and caused a lot of damage.
Said Statue actually inspired a song by comedic musician Heywood Banks called "big butter jesus" found here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq01UYiMyHg *Edit* Okay so.. not so funny anymore. Upon further examination, it seems the chuch itself also caught fire. Hope everyone is okay.. Leviathan.Scorch said: Sylph.Tigerwoods said: Leviathan.Scorch said: Thats awful.

Because it's extravagant and ostentatious; meanwhile, there are probably children in that community who are going to school hungry, and senior citizens who need help with their prescription drug costs. I'm not a Christian, so maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that Jesus would have preferred humans spending excess money to take care of their fellow humans, rather than on lavish displays of religiosity. 8| Caitsith.Silvaria said: Leviathan.Scorch said: Sylph.Tigerwoods said: Leviathan.Scorch said: Thats awful.

I'm tired =( It serves them right for being cheap. Who builds a statue out of styrofoam... or as we Brits call it, Polystyrene?
