A statue of Jesus outside Monroe, Ohio caught fire after a lightning strike on Monday and burned to the ground.
The statue, built in 2004 and dubbed ‘Touchdown Jesus’, was a feature on the grounds of the Solid Rock Church in Monroe. Standing six stories high, the statue was named “King of Kings” but colloquially became called “Touchdown Jesus” — the arms approximate the signal a referee makes for a touchdown in professional football.
The better-known “Touchdown Jesus” — a mural at the University of Notre Dame — remained unscathed.

It was made of some kind of plastic, I think. It was destroyed by lightning, an act of God. Maybe he doesn't like people worshipping plastic idols.He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Its high time we have a Smokey the Bear PSA about the dangers of building statues of Jesus.
