The 62-foot tall statue of Jesus constructed out of styrofoam, wood and fiberglass resin caught on fire after being struck by lightning
i am surprised it lasted that long. that thing was a fire hazard from day 1. 62' metal frame encased in flamable goo. Yea, that was a good idea. |

Yea, that was a good idea. Wow, you said it. If you're going to build an earthly tribute to your Lord and Saviour at least make it more durable.  |
just look at saint peters.

Quoted: Quoted: Questionable? Can you expand on that?used to drive by it a couple times a year, there's a huge mosque not far from it too. That whole stretch is fields and big, questionable churches... Don't get me wrong, i attend a large (~3500) Baptist church. But i'll guarantee you that the churches i'm talking about spend more money on landscaping and gaudy landmarks than they do on missions or on the community... Think the kind of televangelist you wanna strangle. "Send me $50 and i'll send you this rag stained with mud from the cave that was used as the stable that Jesus was born in" etc... and then there's the mosque as well, ROP my butt... |

Quoted: At least when Catholics build statues of Jesus, we use more durable materials. We've gotten centuries out of some of our stuff. Yeah, but you Catholics still show Jesus on the cross  It's all good, just thought I would poke fun...but serious, why still on? |

Solid Rock Church, Which had Big Butter Jesus, has leadership that makes money off of less than Christian activities, namely gambling. The Bishop's also have done rather unchristian things to their family, I know this for a fact because I know the people involved. I am not speaking ill of the congregation, but the pastor and his family aren't good representatives of Christianity. I am honestly glad that BBJ is gone, I live nearby, and that thing caused many traffic jams and wrecks, because people would slam on the brakes on I-75 and pull over for pictures, or not pay attention to the road. Good riddance, and Haywood Banks pretty much nailed it with the BBJ song. |

I'm in that area all the time(Toyota has a bunch of suppliers in that area)always though the BBJ looked more like Kris Kristofferson. Used to be a fun park in that area,Americana or something. |

It's all good, just thought I would poke fun...but serious, why still on? Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus is a burden without a reliever. http://phatcatholic.blogspot.com/2007/01/why-do-catholics-keep-jesus-on-cross.html |

For some reason i always thought Pripyat when i drove by it... Sewardsville lake, over by Hamilton? Or King's Island? What i'm thinking of was some dinky little carnival-thing right off the highway, probably 10mi from TDJ. |

From the comments..
I suspect "radical atheists" took advantage of the storm and either started the fire themselves. Or they put a lightning rod atop it. The Jesus statue sitting in the mountains above Rio de Janeiro was recently spray painted too ... hmmmm
Seriouslu playing that whole "stop persecuting me!" thing to the hilt.

I broke my arm there when I was a kid in the mid 80's. Yeah, I get a serious creepy vibe going by there. Back on topic, BBJ was supposed to be a full body statue, but no contractor would build it because it was too unstable. Thus the BBJ reaching triumphantly into the sky, bursting forth from a pond. |

no shit [paranoid loon] But it just *has* to be an atheist conspiracy! They must have used their black magic (sure, they call it "science", but it's magic) to cause lightning to strike the Touchdown Jesus! [/paranoid loon] |
