I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I've got my styrofoam Jesus - whoops!

Zeus: 1, Jesus: 0.

Atheist moral of the story: don't coat your lightning rods in flammable materials.

Theist moral of the story: don't make giant tacky idols. God has better taste than you.

Pagan moral of the story: Go, Thor!

Oh crap, it was styrofoam?

I heard about it getting struck by lightning, but didn't realize it was made of so many non-biodegradable materials (I thought it was made of cement or stone). Gack, that's going to be an ugly mess to clean up.

It was wood and styrofoam over a metal armature, coated with mesh and fiberglass resin.

Touchdown!

There's evidently a Facebook community begging the congregation to give the money to the poor instead of rebuilding that monstrosity.

Yes to all three, especially #3.

Evidently it's a steel armature covered with styroform, which was then covered with a fiberglass shell. Pure plastic, and it probably smelled AWFUL when it burned.

Jesus saves, but Espo scores on the rebound!

Reminds me of the Summer in the Annapolis Valley where there were over a dozen churches struck by lightning. All Baptist. All the other churches were left alone.

I found it odd that they didn't see this as a sign from God.
