Be the Ball (Lightning)!

I couldn’t believe that Jesus got hit by lightning, until I remembered that I always got hurt when trying to play catch with my dad too.

Using Robertson logic, between this and all those red states getting coated with a fine sheen of gloss, I’d say allah has had just about enough of the fucking idolatry.

One day a few years ago, during the filming of Mel Gibson’s movie about Jesus the Action Hero, the character playing Jesus was hit by lightning on the set.

Did this make Mel think for a moment about what he claimed to believe, or whether God wanted him to make that movie? Not a chance, but I always get a smile when I remember the story.

Palin’s going to blame it on liberals and the media via her Facebook page within 24 hours; count on it!

This is almost too perfect.

Maybe Jehovah did not approve of his son being depicted in the Soviet Realist style.

I’m reminded that Ben Franklin had no problem getting, say, a brothel, to use his newly invented lightning rod, but little luck with churches.

The dopes.

Cap: I must say one thing for the Soviets — at least their heroes are non-flammable.

I just read that locals generally referred to it as [laughing] “Touchdown Jesus”.

So Jesus was struck down by Dad?

What does Pat Robertson have to say about this???

THAT was their mistake with Rasputin!

Hey, I’ll take that Commie art over the Fiberglass Anointed any day. At least the Russky sculptors knew how to model; Jesus was plain embarrassing. He didn’t have the grace of folk art, or anything, except scale. I heard they’re going to rebuild the repulsive thing, though. Ick.

Also: Jay, your comment is lovely.
