Remember Touchdown Jesus in Ohio? The one that looked like a giant, slowly drowning butter statue? It burned down last night. The last picture on that link looks almost like some post-apocalyptic movie set, which is what I think the real Jesus (if there was one) would have done to this monstrosity.
I read somewhere (can’t remember the link offhand) that this statue cost $250,000, and the church that built it plans to fucking rebuild it. The builders said they made it to help others. Really, now…you could have used the money to support, say, a homeless shelter or food pantry. To the evangelicals who can’t get enough of the show, your own Jesus hated this kind of thing, only in his time it involved Pharisees and overly pious prayer and fasting in public.
