i think this false image of christ statue willcome down soon by lightning just like the one in ohio in 2010. all these false images need to be destroyed. nice work of art but its confusing people into venerating statues. further its not even what the man looked like. if folks would only eduate themselves and separate art from reality we can get some sense.
