God As An Art Critic





The sixty-foot tall statue of Jesus, in front of the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio, was hit by lightning during a recent storm. It caught fire, burned, and left only a charred metal frame.

The famous local landmark, sometimes known as Touchdown Jesus, for obvious reasons, was not considered to be the finest representation of Christ. When photographed at the right angle with the reflecting pool in front of it, more than a few people noticed that it appeared Jesus was drowning.

Kind of makes you wonder if it was on God's to-do list -- create some planets in Andromeda, throw a comet at Jupiter, and, oh, yeah, take down that butt-ugly statue in Monroe, Ohio ...
