Flames shoot up from the "King of Kings" statue of Jesus Christ standing
outside of Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio in the early morning hours of
Tuesday, June 15, 2010. The six-story-tall statue of Jesus with his arms
raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday
night, June 14, 2010 around 11:15 p.m. and burned to the ground, police said.

The pic of the statue in flames is very disturbing...too human-like.

5. This might sound silly, but wasn't the Jesus stature grounded?

I mean, wasn't this structure protected against such lightning strikes.

Or was it "faith-based" wiring?

Or perhaps South Park-esque.
