the aesthetic of american far right christianity is horrifying
run-down signs screaming about hell in the middle of nowhere is my aesthetic though
You don’t know true pants-shitting fear until you’re driving in the middle of nowhere, not a single sign of civilization as far as the eye can see, haven’t seen another living being in three hours, and then out of nowhere suddenly looms a half-destroyed barn with the words “HELL IS REAL” painted on what remains of the roof.
I’ll be honest, you could say most of these were from a horror game and I wouldn’t doubt you.
Implying America isn’t a horror game lately.
America isn’t a game. It is just a horror.
Visible from i-40, between Interstate 40 and old Route 66, the Groom, TX cross
it’s located right by the I-75 highway and anyone driving in or out of cincinnati could see it from the road and it was horrifying the first time i saw it because i felt like i was about to die.
the statue was called king of kings, but i only ever heard it referred to as touchdown jesus. just imagine yourself kicking a football through those lofty open arms…..ohio 1, satan 0.
in 2010 touchdown jesus was very sadly struck by lightning and burned down, possibly because so many heathens were calling him touchdown jesus and imagining playing football with the lord. or possibly because that’s just what happens when you build a giant styrofoam and fiberglass statue next to an artificial pond on a hill in the middle of rural ohio.
fortunately our good friends down in englewood have contingency plans for god’s wrath and the end of the world, so they built a new statue named lux mundi. unfortunately, lux mundi is not as amped to play football.
but he does look like he’s down for hugs.
RIP, touchdown jesus. we miss you. 😢
The skeletal remains of touchdown Jesus is one of the more horrifying things I’ve seen.
I’m glad someone took the time to share the glory that is touch down jesus. Bless.
My favorite thing about the dystopian christianity of the bible belt is that its always interspersed with signs for adult emporiums
Sign *SEX SEX SEX* Sign “REPENT SINNER” Sign “LIONS DEN ADULT GOODS” Sign “Culvers next two exits, more cheese curds than you need in your entire life Sign “GOD WAITS FOR YOU CHILD” Sign *blond woman positively bursting out of her nighty* “MORE PORN THAN ANYWHERE AROUND”
