The foam-and-Fiberglass structure burst into flames after lightning struck it during Monday's thunderstorm, leaving behind only a scorched metal skeleton.

The national attention in the wake of the fire that destroyed the giant statue of Jesus outside Solid Rock Church has brought a flood of donations

As it turns out, the "King of Kings" sculpture was insured for $500,000, about twice what it cost the church

So lightening strikes a 65 foot Jesus statue and burns him to the ground.

It turns out the church has him insured for twice his replacement value and additionally the church is flooded with donations to rebuild Jesus.

Sounds like they won the lottery.

The preacher probably couldn't afford his TV bill and decided to cash in.

Maybe it was a sign from God. "Stop doing effed up things in my name!"

There's already a very active thread, posted yesterday, on this subject.
