The famous Touchdown Jesus statue from Ohio burn to the ground last night after being struck by lightning!

Only $700K worth of damage. Honestly, I think that money could have gone to some better causes. But let's not discuss that, keep on topic. Burning Jesus statue. :S Insane.

WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN M.....

Pretty crazy. I saw it on the news this morning and wondered how many people would take it as more than a coincidence.

My green thumb grew the tree my Trojan War horse was crafted from. With roses in our pockets we rally round the tombstones. Ashes to ashes, we all fall down.

Raptor Jesus, Funnky Robo Jesus, The regular Jesus... too much... Jesus... I am a believer, but I think too, that they might have used the money on something lese (like poor kids in Africa or som'n), but it sure is kinda sad that it burnt down. For the people who know the statue. I have no connections at all to that thing and never heard and never cared of that, so it's not very tradegic from my point of view. But I am not a sadist! Just telling that! Even thou I listen to Sodom...

Well I can agree that it's better to have spent the money the church got for that statue of Jesus on something better - after all, why do people give churches donations?

I can imagine it's sad for the community, as a significant statue getting obliterated would, and for those who attend the church, I'm sure it'll be missed.

But I suppose, you can be amused by the irony - perhaps God smote the church, God smote Jesus or some other religion's deity is angry? Or maybe...there really is an atheist god! (excuse the oxymoron )

Maybe its the coders kami striking back at this world of ignorance??
Too many fools have broken his binary laws! This is the form of his pent up rage, he has cast judgement before, We brought about meme's to test thy will But like kami you acted on them causing untold natural destuction to our world, proof of your exsistance is law and you taste for ironic remuneration, evident. Newfags, i dare you to try and Divide by zero again!

When my friend showed me this (know now, I am agnostic) I said, "Well, at least we can narrow down which religion is correct."

Of course as soon as I said it I thought that God could have struck it down because he didn't like the statue, but I left that part out.

Maby... or maby it was just some random lighning that just happened to hit the jesus (I never knew I will have to say that in my life). If it was something else than a Jesus staue would there be a talk about religion? No. the lighting just happened to hit the statue and that's all... That''s how I se it anyway. It's my opinion and I respect yours as long as you repect mine...

Ah, but the question is, if God liked the statue why did he let the lighting hit it?

Maybe he changed his mind about it.

Lets be honest, this proves nothing. Perhaps it was Jesus and he didn't like the statue, perhaps it was some other god trying to one up Jesus, perhaps there is no God and it was just freak lightning.

So: Is anyone else amused by the way the shape of the statue remains, like his grisly bones?
