My friend Kelsey Timmerman posted this today on his Where Am I Wearing blog, under the title “Big Butter Jesus is Toast.” I wanted to copy that, but I thought it was too creative to steal.Apparently there is – or was – a 62 ft. statue of Jesus that was the landmark of the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio. Officially, the church called it the “King of Kings” statue, but everyone else called it “Big Butter Jesus.”Well, lightening struck Big Butter Jesus this week, and it’s burned to the ground. Kelsey points out that the statue was made of styrofoam, which I suppose is better than wood, silver or gold. But you’ve still got to wonder if a styrofoam Jesus falls into the category of “graven image”.Anyway, Big Butter Jesus was immortalized in a song by comedian Heywood Banks, and he’s updated the song to reflect it’s new …. toasty … status.The folks at the church have apparently taken the joke in stride, saying on their website, “There’s been no shortage of attention or controversy surrounding this sculpture, and we’re okay with that. You’ve got to have a sense of humor when you build a 62-foot Jesus on I-75.”So what do you think is worse? A 62-foot statue of Jesus made out of styrofoam, or a song about it?My friend Kelsey is the guy who wrote the book, Where Am I Wearing, touring the world to find out where his clothes were made. It’s definitely a must-read. He’s recently returned from Africa where he’s been working on his next project.
