Sad News: Big Butter Jesus Melted by Lightning

[mosiddiqi]

What about Dio striking out from beyond the grave?

This seems more plausible than the Harry Potter theory.

 

[paulskirocks]

Awesome! Maybe they can replace it with one of our lord and savior, Bugs Bunny...

 

[Itchy]

Did the Chocolate Jesus melt too? ..............Awhhhhhh shucks.

I know it won't happen but Big Butter Jesus makes both an amazing band name and member title.

 

[baimun]

I wonder if anybody got some video of it burning?

People associated with the church were dispersing anyone with cameras or video equipment. I'm sure that some photos or video exist, but they haven't surfaced yet.

It's OK, folks! They're going to rebuild it. (sigh)

You may be on to something:

When there's lightning you know it always brings Big Butter Jesus down--rjd

$250k would feed a few of the less fortunate. Or shelter them from the elements. Like lighting and "harsh winter".

Just sayin'

Post of the day.

According to police, "Lightning Struck the Right hand of the statue." Hmm.

So will 10 tons of butter, Mark. Common, two birds, one stone. These people are visionaries as well as missionaries.

I'm sure it will cost more than that, since they have to demolish and cart off the existing statue.

Here's a really short video.

Excellent!

Disclaimer: I think this is one of the funniest stories I've heard in a while, and is symbolic of what I consider 'sheeple'... That said, if you are actually upset at the burning of the plastic Jesus, then my condolences for your loss...

 

[eloydrummerboy]

I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as lighting don't burn down my Big Butter Jesus...

 

[paulskirocks]

Actually, if there IS a God, then this occurrence renews my faith!

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Don't worry brothers, Big Butter Jesus will rise again in three days and it won't cost anybody anything.
