Oh, and the cost of rebuilding was well into the hundreds of thousands. Seriously, wouldn’t a good Christian use that money to help the poor instead of building false idols?

I really wish some church-going Christian would seriously bring up the idea that maybe God wasn’t happy about that statue. I know we joke about it, but I really want to see somebody discuss it seriously. It would make my damn day to read that discussion thread!!

If anyone is trying to convince these bozos not to rebuild it, I haven’t heard of it. No, this incident generated so much publicity the church can’t help but rebuild it.

I don’t want to read anything into it, but it sure looks to me like this act of Zeus has created far more humor and mockery of that goddamned statue than it has tears and sadness on the part of Christians. It is nice to see society finally give a church the scorn it deserves.

Any chance some of the locals could petition the town not to allow it – or would they be in mortal danger for suggesting it?

Where is Pat Robertson proudly exclaiming how this is clear evidence that God loves double penetration porn?

In perhaps one of the funniest ironies in all of this, a Hustler porn shop is located very close to this church. Strange how the Lord chose not to smite THAT. I’ve driven past this eyesore a few times (Its only about 40 miles down I-75 from me) and I shudder to think of the gaudy, oversized tchotchke the sheeple are going to erect in its place.

Listening to the local NPR station on the way to work this morning, I about planted my forehead in the steering wheel as a church member was talking about how Jesus sacrificed himself (again) to save the church and keep it from going up in a blaze of glory.

It just goes to show that Zeus has had enough of these false gods.
