Six-story Jesus Struck by Lightning

Jebuz is rolling over in his grave.

Touchdown!

Will there be a pilgrimage to the site?

I thought it was the one made of butter as in the song "Big Butter Jesus."

Sweet Cream Jesus!

Well, they'll just have to ask for more money from their herd of idiots to build another highly flammable 1/2 jesus. I like that the porn shop across the street was not harmed. An act of god!

If there is a God, He has a great sense of humor.

This statue was right near where I grew up. You couldn't miss it on the drive from Cincinnati (my hometown) to Dayton. It really epitomized the area in a lot of ways. And it was widely known as Touchdown Jesus--no joke.

Interestingly, I drove by this thing for the first time ever less than a week before Zeus finally vented his wrath upon Poseidon-Jesus.  

True story.

I was wondering if I was the only one who saw the irony in God smiting the Megajeebus.

Luckily not.

I first heard about this statue from this post

I agree, it creeps me out, too.
