Is this The Bishop being struck by lightening in the Movie Caddy Shack?

I wondered about the huge fireball and then saw this in the linked news story:

The statue was constructed of wood and styrofoam over a steel framework that was anchored in concrete and covered with a fiberglass mat and resin exterior, according to the church. It was slated to undergo renovations this summer.

Oh my my my.........................that WILL burn!!!!

Reminds me of the story of when Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod concept. Churches were always the first to get struck by lightning, because of their steeples, but they balked at installing the rods, because they considered them to be a sacriledge. If a church was struck and burned, it was because the congregation was not pious enough.

Religion vs. Science. An age old conflict.

idolatry inroncialism...

Kevin Jones said, "I'm thinking it's a sign from Jesus that we need to learn something, as Christians, as a whole, we're not doing something right." Ashley Morgan said, "It scares me, it really does, I think about what that symbolizes, to me that's a sign and not a good one."

wow...

I suggest they rebuild, better than before with a styrofoam, steel and laid fiberglass "Jesus On a Dinosaur With Wind in his Hair". I think this actual photo of him 6000yrs ago would be perfect.

Yeah, it's all over the local news. On a more serious note, the news says the statue cost $500,000 to build. You'd think a church could do more constructive things with that kind of money.

I prefer to think of it as Cylon jesus myself.
