Solid Rock Church Lightning Strike: Big Butter Jesus Rouxs The Day


BREAKING NEWS!!!!

We are living in the end times my friend.

Last night just north of Cincinnati in Monroe, Ohio tragedy struck in the form of an Almighty lightning bolt.

With a flash of ecumenical electricity and the thunderous clap of God’s ginormous hands, the graven image or more accurately Styrofoam image of Big Butter Jesus, was turned to toast.

Fall to your knees and ask for forgiveness because our wicked ways have displeased the Lord so much, that he morphed the King of Kings statue outside The Solid Rock Church into a puddle of godly goo.

The metal frame is all that remains of this testament to the faith, love, and criminality of Pastors Lawrence and Darlene Bishop.

Pray for us all and pray that a newer, bigger, and animatronic Jesus is rebuilt soon. Yeah, an 80 foot tall animatronic Jeebus would be way cool….and pretty damn funny.

I take a moment to mourn our loss by playing Heywood Banks’, Big Butter Jesus.



Amen and Amen.

Our regularly scheduled offering is posted below.

Cheers!!

I had to chuckle when I read this. I mean c'mon. Would Jesus really have wanted this ginormous statue of him celebrating a touchdown? Evidently not since he decided to light it up...LOL... There is a similar gigantuan statue up here in Michigan that needs to be struck by lightning as well.

And so it begins. God has finally had enough of their shit.

Students at Liberty University and Regent University might want to be very careful where they hang out today.

If only somebody would have been there to get a picture of the actual lightning strike.

My husband called this morning just to inform me of this... and I thought, 'Matt-man's going to be all over that'.

The song was fun too.

Curious Chris said...

'Touchdown Jeebus' made it on NPR today, but I heard it first from Matt-Man!

Mike said...

If what just came through here (2pm central) makes it to Ohio that metal frame that's still standing will be gone too.

The Dish said...

Even Jesus knew that statue was ridiculous, and decided to get rid of the damn thing. Good riddance.

I heard about this. There was a lot of wizecracks about the rath of god, etc., I figure everyone is worrying about the Christian God, and perhaps it's the Goddess or the Hindu or Muslim one.

Schmoop said...

Charlene: Or perhaps all of the Gods you mentioned are the same God. Cheers Charlene!!
