Local Landmark Outed
Posted by jen November 29th, 2004 in Jeneral.
I’ve been meaning to get a pic of this for months to post on Fark (the pic here is NOT mine), but it seems the AP beat me to outing our local eyesore.
I live under a 5 minute car drive from this 62 foot monstrosity. Nice eh? You should have seen it in the early stages, we don’t call it “Cyborg Jesus” for no reason. Even my born again friend from out of town was horrified by it. To be fair this is at the same exit that TWO mucking huge flea markets, a Hustler store, and a trashy strip club are at so it could be explained a excercise in equal time, but it’s so damn ugly. We also call it “Retard Jesus” as his eyes are rather down syndome-esque, and should foreheads HAVE clefts?
Fark found it also of course, I’m just ticked I didn’t do it first.

Help me, Jebus! It looks like he’s stuck in a hole and he can’t get out!
The kids and I have taken to calling it “Cheesus,” as we pass by it, but to be honest, it looks like its made out of butter.
I drove by this last August when it was revealed — it’s on I-75, right? — and I thought it was some kind of horrific Christian themepark ride or something. You trumped the giant sign in Birmingham, AL which says “GO TO CHURCH OR THE DEVIL WILL GET YOU”.
LMAO - I think ‘Retard Jesus’ fits perfectly. I don’t know if I would be mature enough to not go and take late night photos of several friends and myself climbing jesus. Is that hell worthy?
I am also wondering why it appears that ‘RJ’ is sinking in quicksand?
Why can’t I post here any more? i keep getting a strange error…
This is obviously a comment on Ohio’s recent voting activity: “Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do.”
What, Satan has him by his ankles? Dude that’s AWESOME. I wish I knew about it when we took our Freaky Jesus Ohio trip. Take that, Living Bible Wax Museum!
Holy crap, is that at Solid Rock? I used to live in Dayton and we used to call it the Solid Rock Church and Casino because of the mega-bright flashing message signs they have - at night they dang near blind you as you’re driving down 75.
I’m a firm advocate of letting people believe what they want - BUT I have to wonder about any church that won’t let you become a “full member” until you recruit a certain number of people and donate a certain level of cash.
wanna see a reel funny PS-gallery?
You know what cracks me up? Lawrence Bishop is the most crooked horse trader to ever walk the planet. I could tell you things about this “pastor” that would make your skin crawl.
