Burn, Jesus, burn! Tom Send a noteboard - 16/06/2010 01:43:43 PM
Regardless of your opinion of Christianity, religion, Jesus, etc. I think that many share the opinion that giant fiberglass and foam depictions of Jesus by the side of the highway are just tacky.

Did that stop people in Ohio? Of course it didn't.

They put up a monstrosity of a statue, six stories high. I wonder if they thought, "Hey, people will be driving down the highway, they'll see this ginormous statue of Christ, and they'll suddenly change their sinful ways and accept Him into their hearts. Oh, and of course they won't cause any accidents from being startled or distracted or anything."

Regardless of what they thought, God had other plans for the statue. Whether He was angry at the poor depiction, lack of taste, choice of venue or whether He was just frustrated that the builders ignored the laws of physics, weather and electricity, He rained down LIGHTNING on the statue.

And it caught fire. And it burned to the ground, leaving just a few metal struts.

Come, my friends. Bring your children. Let us watch Jesus burn.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Isn't everything an act of God? *NM* - 16/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 291 Views
Of course, but shouldn't there be a lesson learned from God's acts? *NM* - 16/06/2010 06:13:35 PM 289 Views
Bah, learning lessons is for whimps *NM* - 16/06/2010 07:11:10 PM 287 Views
