MONROE, Ohio – A six-story-tall statue of Jesus

Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.

The "King of Kings"

statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.

The

lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.

The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed

Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday

People who go around putting up statues of what they believe/assume to be what Jesus looked like need to read the ten commandments, especially the first and second one.

Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:

Yep.

This is why the Amish don't allow photographs (real Amish I mean) and their dolls have no faces.

Creepy dolls to be certain, kind of horror flick looking. But, as they say, Jesus is the Reason.

I don't recall ever seeing one of their dolls. But I can understand why they don't put faces on them.

Think of a small, cloth material, cotton (or something natural) stuffed doll, with no dye on the linen cloth, so it's kind of an off white-ish. They are dressed in 19th century garb, bonnets and dresses, and they have nothing on their face at all, no eyes, nose, mouth or anything, just blank off-white.

Found a quick picture on the internet. This one has no bonnet, some do some don't.

I guess there aren't a lot of kids outside of Amish circles clamoring for one of those, eh?

Ooooh, the closeup shows a bonnet, missed that, was only looking at the thumbnail.

They actually will sell those dolls in some of their restaurants. Can't say I see them move a lot, inventory wise. They're probably a big hit with the blind I'd guess.

Creepy ain't it? lol

I suspect that I need to rip a few dolls out of little Amish girls hands and see if I've been mistaking dark bonnets for hair. Been around the Amish for so long that it doesn't even occur to me to examine them without "filters" like many tourists might.

There are some nice blow up Amish babe dolls that I have in my closet...er...um...that I've seen...um...somewhere...

Heh.

Amish are everywhere here. In fact I'm going on a short motorcycle cruise through upper Ohio tomorrow with my dad, which means a jaunt through heavily Amish infested countryside. Beautiful scenery.

This is all weather permitting of course, it's been a drab miserable rainy summer thus far.
