MONROE, Ohio -- Monroe police dispatchers said a bolt of lightning struck the Kings of Kings statue at the Solid Rock Church, setting it ablaze and eventually leaving behind only a metal frame.

He would have struck down the one in Rio too, but instead he just struck them down with crippling crime and poverty.

That must have been a powerful sight.... Jesus on fire... in the rain, on the shore of a lake with a church behind him.

Wow at least back in the middle ages when Christianity inspired artists it inspired them to create works of great beauty. That's just fucking horrible looking. God probably struck it down because the thought "REDO!, you mofos can do better than that!" :D

Someone had to have taken a picture of it. It's right off a major highway, so thousands of people would have driven by while it was burning.
