Spread the Word…
5 June 2007 by NaomiThank you, Heywood Banks!
Oleo Lord, indeed…
Just in case you missed the “Big Butter Jesus” (a-k-a “Touchdown Jesus”) that inspired Banks’ song, the first time BBJ appeared here at GifS was 02.22.07 in In-your-face religious symbols: Super-Sized! You do not want to miss the 198-foot tall cross in Effingham IL, right next to I-57/70, and handy to the six truckstops nearby…

Spread the Lard, maybe! Funny song. Every time I see that picture, I think it’s a guy being cut in two by a big razor blade, except he’s got no lower half to his body.

LOL! The giant Jesus seems even more disturbing after that. And it really does look like its made of butter. Mmmmm…. reminds me of the butter cow at the state fair!
I wonder how much time and money was spent making this giant, ugly statue? I’m sure those resources could have been used to do something more productive for society.

Hey, this is another product that could be made and marketed to make money off of xians! Like those little lamby butters sold around Eastertime. Oleo Jeebuses…could get about $4 a pound or more.

Oleolord is my new swear word.

Yes, well There’ll be no butter in Hell! Laugh now, you infidels!
LOL

My youngest brother (who turns 50 this month!?!? when the fuck did that happen?) sent that to me.
He’s married to a devout methodist but he was raised in the same gawdless/jeebusless home as I, so I’m thinking he’s tacitly accepting my “outing” myself as an atheist. Oleolord-only-knows how his wife is taking the news – she’s always been awkward with me but I’ve never tried to find out why.
The next time a fundie tries to butter me up, I’ll make sure they get this URL…

Jesus Christ that statue is huge. Oh wait! It is Jeebus Christ! Being cut in half by that razor on that Judas Priest album.

Good meat.
Good gawd,
Let’s eat!

Dammit, Naomi… I wish you would have put an “audio virus warning” on that post. I’ve been singing it in my head at work for about an hour now.
“Big Butter Jesus…Oleo Lord”
‘Course, I’m prone to that anyway. I should have known better.

I would believe in Jesus, but the margarine of error is 100%.

Terra, I, too, suffer from that! All last evening, until bedtime, I had that looping in my mind. But since I started using hypnosis tapes, the songs are gone in the morning. Thankfully.
Slightly on-topic: I just checked how many mosques there are in Ohio (just for my own edification) and found that there are 48! All of them use traditional architecture, so they have no “Big Butter Allah” or “B-B-Mohammed”. Score one for them (or for their doctrine of not objectifying their holies)…
Personally, I’ve only seen two: one in Toledo/Perrysburg, right by I-75; and one in Cincinnati, right by I-75 (just a couple miles from BBJ!). So, traveling north-south, you can’t miss them.
