South Texans think that a fiberglass statue of Jesus that drifted down the river is a sign from God.

fiberglass? that totally explain the "walking on water" thing.

Heartening, only 16% of people who felt compelled to participate in their online pole think Christ was sending a message here. Or is that sad?

I don't get it. They thought it was a body to be rescued, it turns out to be a statue, and that's a miracle? Do they think a drowning victim got transubstantiated into fiberglass?

Almost as strange as the idea that a simple floating fiberglass statue could spawn six different threads on the JREF forums.

Is it a 'normal' Jesus, or a 'buddy' Jesus?


And what about the 'Solid Rock Church' 42 foot fiberglass Jesus? The one that looks like he's saying, "Hey! Get me outta this quicksand!" I haven't seen any good news stories about it or photos of it....

Apparently, it will be painted to look like marble. I suppose that will give it a classy touch.

The church's web site still doesn't mention anything about it.
