'Touchdown Jesus' as it is called was struck by lightning last night and burned to the ground so fast that fire squads could not save any part of it. The styrofoam statue of Jesus' torso up with his arms outstretched like a referee calling 'Touchdown!' is merely a steel structure. This statue, with initial response from the church where the statue is located, will be recreated.
The irony is priceless.

God doesn't appreciate such blasphemy. It's a sign, people.
Mother nature does not appreciate idolatry.
Huh. Yeah, I seriously don't think God appreciates mockery of the sort.
I just heard about this...it's pretty hilarious. Touchdown Jesus should never have existed. Divine Providence.
This thing was only about ten minutes away from my house btw...and so very ugly...I'm glad to see it gone. Hopefully they don't rebuild it into something even more ridiculous.
All is well then, much is said in the text about the second comming--all of which contradicts so called orthodoxy. It is nice to see some pagan images leaving.
I have done some checking, it seems as if no one is prepared for what must be, but entrenched in what they imagine should be.
Aquiana, same here. I'm within about 15 minutes or so. O.o
The stuff you find on teh interwebz...
Really? Cool we must be neighbors.Quote:

Crap. AquaNINA. Alright, that won't happen again for a while. Anyway, I might have the timing off, but I'm fairly close to there.
As discovery says: The world is just awesome.
Here is a better view of the aftermath and the fire itself.

Dude. It's a giant lightning rod wrapped in flammable materials. And you're fire cheif. Who'd you f**k for that position?Quote:
"I never thought this would be vulnerable..." Chief Neu said.
"Church officials say the statue will be rebuilt and they will go forward with their July 4 celebration in a makeshift manner."
Oh well. I *REALLY* don't care.
In respect to the World Cup, they should rebuild him like this:

It seems pretty obvious that this is a bad idea. I mean, is it not written...

Is that lion sitting across his lap, or was the artist demonstrating to us that Zeus's junk was a lion?
I think it's part of the chair, there's one on the other side as well. Zeus' junk is probably made of lightning.Quote:

Zeus has a great sense of humor... >:3
More zaniness:
Almost on cue, as it could be predicted, somebody saw the virgin mary in the charred remains.
I thought toast was going a bit too far...
It would suck if Rio's Jesus was destroyed though. I always like that statue.
Does that not make it an idol? It's still an idol, and it's not the real Jesus, even if it's crafted in perfect likeness. :PQuote:

:lol: am I the only one who interprets this pic as "Zeus is jerking off his lightning rod" ? :DQuote:
