Couldn't help doing a little more googling, apparently the world's largest statue of Jesus was also struck by lightning and was unscathed, so I guess 'tacky' is the issue, as the Redeemer Statue in Brazil is decidedly more looming and badass, of course it's also made of stone, not flammable materials
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Of course, but shouldn't there be a lesson learned from God's acts? *NM*

I concede the cost and labor could have been better spent on feeding the hungry/housing the homeless

The "they" was referring to "people in Ohio", not "all people in Ohio". And yes, they're "they".

Even if they use the same shoddy materials and crappy sculpting, I doubt they can.
