Get a Load of This; Jesus Flys Over Tracy California

[High Sierra Buck]

Jesus the Hot Air Balloon



He's 110 feet tall and has hands 20 feet long. He weighs over 750lbs and is filled with 258,000 cubic feet of air. It took 13 weeks to sew him together.And he's quite simply the biggest Gadget for God we've ever seen.

Jesus the Hot Air Balloon is based in Tracy, California, and is the latest evangelistic balloon project of The Merritt Ministry. The biggest challenge they faced was theological, it seems: 'How do you create a hot air balloon that is both authentic and reverent in its mission of creating Jesus, the Son of God?'

Jesus the hot-air balloon takes flight to commemorate National Day of Prayer.

1. Notice how depictions of Jesus always look the same

how very strange considering the scant historical evidence if any we know of him.

2. Now, a Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell HOT AIR balloon would make sense

but a Jesus hot air balloon? Words fail me.

3. Oral Roberts.

Didn't Oral Roberts (named after the wrong end of the alimentary canal, he is) claim once that he talked to a Jesus of about that size?

[havocmom]

5. One pill makes Jesus larger

and one pill makes Oral small.
And the one mother Mary gives you
don't do anything at all.

Go ask Jesus
When he's 110 feet tall

Seriously, folks, picture a couple, out for a Sunday drive....
"JESUS CHRIST!"

tires screech, breaks lock up.... I smell a lawsuit.

7. Looks like the overcame their greatest challenge

"How do you create a hot air balloon that is both authentic and reverent in its mission of creating Jesus, the Son of God?"

Authentic? A freaking head on a cloud? REVERENT? Yeah, it's all that!

oh MAN...a gadget for God....

I know Dan Fogelberg when I see him!

18. spot on, TheWizardOfMudd!

looks more like a palid paddy (Dr. Sanchez's nickname for students of Irish decent) than someone from the Middle East.

[No2W2004]

9. All it needs

is a "HUGE USED CAR BLOWOUT!!" sign

[DieboldMustDie]

10. I wonder how many people thought it was THE RAPTURE.
