I don't think God liked the giant Jesus statue... if you want people to think about Jesus on the I-75, why don't you, I dunno, befriend them before they get on the road, give 'em something to think about.

He heard the Heywood Banks song on The Bob and Tom show. The statue is awesome, and it shows the world that Jesus is the light and Salvation, and maybe just maybe makes some passerby on I-75 think about eternity for a moment. How cool. by the way as a side note, The word sucks is really bad to use, it has bad connotations, we are in the world, not of it! Have a great day!

When was the last time the general poplulation of Ohio interstate drivers thought about Jesus. Seems to me He is serving the purpose the church intended!

I mean, come on people, is this what we think is art? As for the graven image comment. Please try and study the scriptures. Graven in the context of the ten commandments means that people are treating images as a "god" I think that we can all figure this one to be nothing but an eye sore. Do you care more about your flashy car, sex, or television than you do God? Well, guess what. You've just broke the "graven image" commandment. Wow, I think I've just described half of America? Sorry to bring ya all down, I've had a tough day. Or rather, two years. Big Butter Jesus is just what the Christian community can expect when art education flys out the window.
