Now, I appreciate Freehold citizens who want our City to express its love for Jesus. That said, we need to look to God for guidance.
God routinely strikes these statues with lightening. He doesn't like them. We can't understand God's thinking all the time, but His view about Jesus statues is clear.
First he set the Touch-Down Jesus on fire in Ohio a couple of years ago. Now, he has hit the tall Jesus in Brazil. That is why there is no Jesus statue in Freehold.

What if we had one constructed out of rubber? Something that wouldn't attract lightening.
