Oh Dear God

NYTimes: As the congregation of the World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church looked on and its pastor, Apostle Alton R. Williams, presided, a brown shroud much like a burqa was pulled away to reveal a giant statue of the Lady, but with the Ten Commandments under one arm and “Jehovah” inscribed on her crown.

And in place of a torch, she held aloft a large gold cross, as if to ward off the pawnshops, the car dealerships and the discount furniture outlets at the busy corner of Kirby Parkway and Winchester that is her home. A single tear graced her cheek.

Talk about not pleasing anyone – this is 72 foot tall lightening rod in a nor’easter.

  1. Yeah, even I as a Jehovah’s Witness find that to be blasphemy. But at least it will keep everyone safe from any 70 foot vampires…
