Zeus gets active

Over at Slacktivist, Fred writes about a clear, blindingly clear, sign of The Wrath of Zeus:
Some called it "Touchdown Jesus," or "Big Butter Jesus," or "Quicksand Jesus," but the actual name for the giant statue outside of Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio, was "King of Kings."

Whatever one calls it, that glorious piece of Roadside Americana is now gone. The statue was struck by lightning Monday night and burned to the ground.


Cowtown That's right, Jesus burned to the ground. Yet the Cowtown Cowboy still stands -- along with hundreds of his kin. What does it all mean?

This is being interpreted by some in the congregation as a sign from God. Perhaps it was -- perhaps Zeus was displeased that the people of Monroe, Ohio, had forsaken him. Lightning bolts, after all, are Zeus' thing, so if we're going to interpret them as signs of divine intervention, then Zeus is the divinity we should be talking about.

Check it out!
