I wonder if their insurance covers acts of god…
Big Butter Jesus Hit by Lightning and Burns to the Ground!
Fans want to know…will it be resurrected?!?
From the Dayton Daily News:
Also gathered along Union Road were Franklin twins and storm chasers Levi and Seth Walsh, who said they were out in the thunderstorm when they heard about the fire through a Facebook update.
“It sent goosebumps through my whole body because I am a believer,” said Levi Walsh, 29. “Of all the things that could have been struck, I just think that that would be protected. … It’s something that’s not supposed to happen, Jesus burning,” he said. “I had to see it with my own eyes.”
“I can’t believe Jesus was struck,” said his brother, who noted the giant Hustler Hollywood sign for the adult store across the street was untouched. “It’s the last thing I expected to happen.”

2 NEWS Interviewed the Pastor of the Solid Rock Church and they said he will rebuild and the new statue will be bigger and better. He will also look at constructing it from something that is less flammable than fiberglass or styrofoam.
The Pastor also said the statue inspired a lot of people was a symbol of hope. It was controversial when they first built it, some thought it was too gaudy.
