What do you about the statue in this picture. Is it a good thing or is it a huge monstrosity? What does this say about this church?
This is in Ohio between Middletown and Cincinnati...it sits right on the highway. The locals call it Touchdown Jesus.

Right now Jesus is looking down and saying "wow, I had no idea I was a 60 foot tall white man!"

in case you have not got self assurance, this isn't any longer that no longer user-friendly. heavily, we Christians are regrettably brainwashed from the get bypass. you're born, parents take you to church, and till you may now talk, stroll, and understand you have heard a hundred sermons approximately God and Jesus. Take a step lower back and seem at it from somebody else's eyes. there's no evidence of God, often times the Bible tells thoughts that during no way got here approximately, many cases our fellow Christians are in user-friendly terms Christians whilst they sense this is appropriate, and Christians have a bad rep with stuffing it down human beings's throats. you may no longer instruct to those that there is a God and Jesus extra suitable than a guy from scripture. The scripture grew to become into written with the help of guy interior the e book which you ought to realize is slightly a stretch. Your faith keeps you believing and loving, however the folk you're concerning haven't any faith. and that i'm no longer able to blame them. human beings will ask God to furnish them the numbers to win the lottery. Why? Do you have a job? Did you bypass to varsity? despite this is which you would be able to no longer have the money for why can no longer you have the money for it? IS it given which you made undesirable judgements in existence? maybe this is appropriate in case you may no longer have the money for it to instruct others that the direction you took grew to become into no longer the spectacular direction. My own ideals are that God does not intrude. I refuse to have self assurance he could enable conflict if he did. I additionally can no longer have self assurance he could enable 1 / 4 of a million human beings to be killed with the help of a tsunami if he believed in battling such issues. It couldnt' have been all those human beings's time to bypass. Heaven and Hell, i think of human beings have the incorrect thought. How am i able to savour somebody's company without physique? i'm no longer able to hug them, can no longer see them, hear them, and so on. So why do i opt to bypass to Heaven? i think of this is a recommendations set which you're in once you die. The satisfaction of understanding which you lived a competent existence.

When religion meets trailer park marketing you get the kmart-ification of religion. Having a blue light special on Jesus is about as mocking and insulting to religion as anything could be.
Its akin to opening a bible themed miniature golf course with Jesus as the end as the windmill.

I guess that commandment about "Thou shalt not worship any graven images" didn't reach them. I'm also betting that the non-denominational aspect of their church is just fine as long as its a CHRISTIAN denomination. Notre Dame had a "touchdown Jesus" a long time ago.
