And he has loosed his wrath upon a 62' tall statue of Jesus.
Monroe fire officials set damage at $700,000 after lighting struck and burned down a 62-foot-high Jesus Christ statue and an adjacent amphitheater at Solid Rock Church late Monday.
Church leaders are vowing to rebuild the iconic "King of Kings" statue - also dubbed "Touchdown Jesus" - which alone was valued at $300,000

Touchdown Jesus!
I have seen the other Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame.

I just hope it wasn't Allah...

ReplyDeleteNah, that's the "double lightning rod" position, where you hold two 62 foot steel bars in the air in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Honestly, what did they think would happen?
"According to Isaac Asimov, the most practical and dramatic victory of science over religion occurred in the seveteenth century, when churches began to put up lightning conductors."
