A huge white statue of Christ, six stories high, built 7 years ago outside the Solid Rock Church in Ohio farming country 40 miles north of Cincinnati – officially called King of Kings but known, less formally, as Touchdown Jesus or Big Butter Jesus – was destroyed last night after being struck by lightning.

One response to “Act of God”

You left out the best part of the linked article:
“Some congregants say the statue keeps watch over a section of freeway that was once among the most dangerous in Ohio. Twelve people died along that 15-mile stretch of I-75 in the two years before the image was erected, eight of them killed after cars jumped the median into oncoming traffic. Since the statue went up more than two years ago, there have been no such crossover deaths.
“Can’t too much go wrong next to a big statue of Jesus,” said one member of the church, James Nelms, 23.”
Now that the statue is destroyed, I bet those cars will start crashing again.LikeLike
