Jesus struck by lightning.

MONROE, Ohio — A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.

The "King of Kings" statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.

The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.

Perhaps it was having naughty thoughts.

And foolishly they are planning to rebuild it - completely ignoring god's obvious disapproval of the hideous erection. They really are asking for trouble - next time an asteroid!
