Just what we need . . .

. . . a Statue of Theocracy.

A church in Memphis, TN, is spending approximately $260,000 to erect a
72-foot-tall version of the Statue of Liberty, only holding a cross instead of a
torch and carrying tablets containing the 10 Commandments instead of the "Give
me your poor, your tired, your hungry...."

Kudos to wizeGurl for this zinger:

As Jesus said to his disciples in Matthew 25:

Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me, *and instead you wasted your money on a giant, useless statue.'

Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?'
He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.'

And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

*not actually in the Bible, but maybe it should have been.
