The original "butter jesus" burned down and memorialized in song...

Its now being rebuilt with his hands lower and, of course, a lightning rod. Dont want to let god burn it again!

The part I loved best about that whole fiasco was that this giant statue of Jesus wasn't covered by insurance payments, because lightning is deemed to be an act of God.

I should be too embarrassed to admit this...

This is one of my favorite songs. I sing it all the freaking time. I start laughing every time when I get to the line, "I can't believe it's not Jesus."

[deelaem]

I fuckin' LOVED butter Jesus.

[Angri-la]

I always thought of Butter Jesus when there were a proliferation of Jesus Toast on Ebay. What a perfect combo.

The song made me snort afternoon coffee, thanks!

[Alecto]

OLEO LORD!

[Buzzard]

The lyrics are fraktastic!

In southern Ohio, just north of Cincinnati

I beheld a vision, next to the expressway.

Was a 60 foot jesus, with his hands in the air

looks like he’s carved out of butter,

just like at the state fair.

Big butter Jesus

Sweet cream Jesus

Oh country fresh Jesus

Unsalted Jesus

Oh Promise Jesus

Imperial Jesus

Can’t believe it’s not Jesus

Oleo Lord.

Well you see him from the chest up

like he’s about to do a back flip,

like he scored a touchdown

or maybe melting or about to drown.

Well I’ve been to the state fair

seen a cow made out of corn cobs

Garth Brooks made of string cheese

and the virgin out of olives.

Big butter Jesus

Sweet cream Jesus

Oh country fresh Jesus

Unsalted Jesus

Oh Promise Jesus

Imperial Jesus

Can’t believe it’s not Jesus

Oleo Lord.

Shipped in pieces on a flatbed

staring backwards was his big head

Driver stuck in traffic backups

desperately avoiding eye contact

Well don’t make no graven images.

That’s one of the 10 commandments

I hope the grading curve is kindly

You get to heaven with a 90

Big butter Jesus

Sweet cream Jesus

Oh country fresh Jesus

Unsalted Jesus

Oh Promise Jesus

Imperial Jesus

Can’t believe it’s not Jesus

Oleo Lord.

Can’t believe it’s not Jesus,

Oh spread the word.

Oh, you can get a "butter jesus" ringtone here... I can think of a few people that would be a great personal tone for!

I just get giddy whenever I see this.

I know that the Jesus of Notre Dame is called "Touchdown Jesus," but in my part of the country, that godawful monstrosity was known as "Touchdown Jesus."

[Jezebel]

Shipped in pieces on a flatbed

staring backwards was his big head

Driver stuck in traffic backups

desperately avoiding eye contact

Well don’t make no graven images.

That’s one of the 10 commandments

I hope the grading curve is kindly

You get to heaven with a 90

Sweet butter Jesus, this part just about killed me, I was laughing so hard. Now the cats are looking at me all worried-like...

[clibbyjo]

I have some friends I plan to visit in Ohio next summer, I think we need to put this on our list of attractions.

[Librul]

I got to see Big Butter Jesus regularly and miss him and all of his buttery goodness. This little corner of Ohio is not the same without him! Not sure I can feel the same about Hug Me Jesus.

[boysmom]

I saw him a lot too, it's close to my house. I never have understood the point. He was definitely called "touchdown Jesus" plenty. He had more than one name. I read that the reconstruction has begun but never saw that insurance didn't cover him.

[StarrieEyedKat]

Hey, fellow Ohioans!

I don't understand why anyone would spend money on something like this. I don't know much about the background, but it's built by a church, right? If I were part of that congregation, I would be absolutely livid that my donations/offerings/whatever they're called were going towards something as ridiculous as this. Especially a SECOND one.

[tacky]

We call him Touchdown Jesus too. We drive past him every year when we head to wherever for vacation.
