A six-story statue of Jesus Christ near my home town was struck by lightning and burned to the ground a couple of days ago, leaving only a blackened steel skeleton and pieces of foam that were scooped up by curious onlookers on Tuesday.
Already there are numerous theories going around: "The Devil did it." "God was displeased at the image."
Personally, I think Elvis did it!
Regardless....the church is going to spend over $700,000.00 to replace it. I guess it's their business, but I can think of a hell of a lot of places where that money would do more good than in a plastic statue.
Yeah...like on the gulf coast for starters!
