I must say, it did make me giggle a bit.

QuoteMONROE, OH (FOX19) - The large Jesus statue in Monroe was destroyed after being struck by lightning Monday evening.

The iconic statue was a landmark on Interstate 75, and was dubbed "King of Kings" by members of Solid Rock Church, where it resided.

The 62 feet tall statue weighing 16,000 pounds quickly became engulfed with flames. Fire crews were on the scene for several hours to put out the fire.

The statue, also nicknamed "Touchdown Jesus," is made out of wood and Styrofoam. The statue also had a steel frame anchored in concrete and fiberglass.

Nah, it was totally Zeus.

Thor is way more awesome. He's got a hammer and everything. And a badass helmet.

QuoteI find it mistifying that in this age of information, some people still deny the scientific history of our existence.

When they inevitably rebuild, they should do a sculpture of Jesus doing an end zone dance.  It's the natural progression.

Does anyone seriously believe that this incident is not a clear warning that Barack Obama is the Antichrist?

Generally, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I feel pretty safe saying that you are a moron.

Wait, two questions:
1. Why was this in the news?
2. Why did they build a giant Jesus in the first place?

1.Because it's a noteworthy event?
2.It was God's will this statue was built, so it could be destroyed to warn the world of the coming of the Antichrist.
