Touchdown Jesus!
Jump to Comments
It’s the Second Coming of Touchdown Jesus! (The first is in South Bend.) The Big-J has risen near the interstate north of Cincinnati. Standing 62 feet high, with a 42-foot wing span between the hands, the Solid Rock Church’s dramatic statue of Jesus rises out of the ground on the eastern side of Interstate 75 in Monroe.
Some other ideas for Touchdown Jesus:
- Build his feet sticking out of the ground on the other side of the highway.
- Bengal’s Jesus!
- Reds’ Jesus!
- Clown Jesus!

My wife and I thought it would be a hoot to take a large styrofoam ring and toss it around one of his hands….like a life preserver… Since he’s sticking out of the middle of a lake anyway.

I thought Jesus could walk on water?!?! Perhaps he’s not so good in mud.

“Thus sayeth the Lord: Woe unto thee that hinders freeway traffic for a graven image of me, for yea they be rubberneckers.”

There is never anything wrong with a sense of humor. There are some funny things about the statue (or there were things) But I think it was also a great stand. If there can be giant bill boards for hustler and strip joints (there were not far from the church originally) Then what is wrong with standing for what they believe. I think it is wonderful that even though they knew it would cause controversy against them and many people to laugh at them they still took a stand. Its a statue of Jesus that is in awe of what God has create hence the hands raised in praise.
Touchdown Jesus title is funny, but dont forget there is more to everything than just what you see.

LMFAO @ Shmlay for resurrecting this dead post.
We are so sorry that Big Butter Jesus was struck down by God’s mighty wrath, and burned to the ground. But that doesn’t give you the right to come post on this topic and try to school people with your ‘holier than thou’ words and stuff. Remember, religion is the opiate of the masses, you fucking junkie.
