Maybe Jesus wasn’t happy with the likeness.

In the local paper, a member of the church was lamenting that the Jesus statue was struck and burned but the Hustler Hollywood store across the street was spared…

I was wondering if project reason would post something about this. I live in Cincinnati and this is all everyone is talking about. The church’s electronic sign has a flashing message today saying - “He’ll Be Back”. If you ask me the money it would take to rebuild could be put to much better use.

God must like the Hustler Hollywood store better.  Hmm or is it science’s fault, lets see…  6 story structure, made of steel wrapped in wrapped in Styrofoam, sounds like a flammable lighting rod to me.  The church should sue science.

It’s deeply sad that something like this can get this much attention, yet many of the most important and most urgent issues in the world get hardly any at all.

Where’s my sense of humour, you say? Well, yes, I can see the funny side; just like half of the posters there can, too, but it’s scary just how many deadly serious ‘Idolatry’ posts there are.

Get a grip, people!

It is,however, encouraging to see just how many anti-religious posts there are.

It really needs to be said that this statue was breathtakingly ugly and that Ohio is considerably more attractive with it destroyed.

Maybe God was getting tired of these hideous and extremely Caucasian-looking effigies of his one-and-only son (who is also himself).

I guess The Evil Prick of the Old Testament has a bone to pick with the Messiah for undoing all His wonderful laws

Scientifically, there is nothing big deal with this one. Since it was made of steel wrapped with Styrofoam, what do you expect—it is flammable. Another is that, the structure was not grounded properly, and any structure or even establishments that is one of the tallest in that total area has the biggest chance of getting struck by the lightning and burned down. I was just a lightning struck in an object and nothing else, why would imply anything else from that? Big Butter Jesus or “Touchdown Jesus” rather was rescheduled to be renovated. Well then, the people of that church have every right to rebuild. It is their constitutional right to express their freedom of religion.

Russell (God and Religion) has some great stories of this kind. The parish is hit by lightning, all are killed except the padre who praises god for saving him, but no thought or mention of the deceased

i mean religion is so interesting in the way it can sweet talk its way out of any new thing that comes into the societ of intellectuals. These religious fanatics said that it was god’s will to destroy a statue built in his honor just because it was built in an unwanted location—-oh yeah that that pissed god off———that is B.S., i mean people we have to unite and fight this desease to increase our society’s peace and ease world wide grief . . . so please agree with me

Well… as long as we don’t have earth quakes in Ohio, I guess our women are dressing modestly.

Maybe this shows Jesus is not GOD. Someone else is controlling this world, why don`t you guys search for this?

I am curious if Son of God was insured ...

In Britain for insurance purposes it would be considered an act of god. That is a stupid thing in itself, but it does add insult to non-injury.
