it's a few blocks from my work. i see it almost daily although recently i've been going home a different way since i've been working late and it's about three blocks (not real city blocks, suburb blocks) from a slightly shifty area.
the church that created this nightmare spent a metricfuckton on it. i have a friend that teaches art at an elementry school near it and the schools and community there could have used the money for something like, oh community and neighborhood improvements, child programs, painting over the gang graffitti, but i really think that the lord feels much more served by this GIANT and offensive statue that totally takes that whole freedom of religion thing and mocks it.
however, i love taking my out of town friends to see it, it's more entertaining than graceland.
