Excerpt from article:

The 4,000-member, nondenominational church was founded by former horse trader Lawrence Bishop and his wife. Bishop said in 2004 he was trying to help people, not impress them, with the statue. He said his wife proposed the Jesus figure as a beacon of hope and salvation and they spent about $250,000 to finance it.


Never have so many...done so little...with so much!  :(

I know it was a waste, but I got used to it as a mile marker down i-75.....Hey, the touchdown Jesus, almost to Cincy!!!!  Going home up I-75 " Hey, here is the touchdown Jesus already, almost to Dayton!!"  Now what will we do??  (start flying to Florida!) ;D

Ninny:
Oh my gosh! Musicman! This is more proof that you can't fool mother nature!! You can't build your own Jesus! And you can't count on a savior made of steel and foam! I'm thankful that the real Jesus is in control of the wind and the rain! (and the lightening!) Yep, that is sad such a waste of money!  :(   People have strange ways of getting your attention...There is a big sign near Birmingham Al.. There is a picture of a big red devil with a pitchfork and the sign reads..."Go to church, or the devil will get you!"  People are just weird!!

And this statute once stood where? In front of "the evangelical Solid Rock Church"  ???
