More like the mark of the Dumbasses.
Beasts aren't known for their smarts
A cynic might accuse these people of hypocrisy.
Something something golden calf....
Golden porker.
I'm not religious, but sometimes I wish Christianity was real because it would be so funny for these "Christians" to be judged by their god.
Trump, seen here jerking off an NBA star...
The ol’ giraffe-jerker himself.
Jesus would be flipping tables left and right. That is if ICE doesn't deport him, or kill him.
ICEatzgruppen would 100% cap Jesus’s brown ass
I mean, that's exactly what the Romans did to him.
That thing is not gonna last. It's gonna get vandalised within 24 hours.
Why would you think a pastor would give pause? If you can get someone to believe in a magic space daddy, the shift to a magic land-based daddy should be trivial.
If they followed the rules they wouldnt follow trump
They would also stone you to death for wearing clothing of mixed fabric.
Religions always pick and choose which rules to apply and how to apply them.
But he did say Jehovah
"You're only making it worse for yourself, you know."
Oh it gets better.
The statue — which rises 15 feet atop a 7-foot base — was commissioned and bankrolled by a collective of crypto investors seeking to boost visibility for their memecoin, $PATRIOT, according to The Daily Beast.
Sculptor Alan Cottrill told The Times in February that he agreed to create the bronze figure for $300,000 but complained that the investors were slow in paying. In November he proposed coating it in gold leaf.
His suggestion went down like an offering of water “to a person dying of thirst,” he said. “Immediately everybody jumped on board.”
On top of all of the obvious stupidity with the statue, it is a terrible rendition. Not fat enough. No comb over. The face is not orange. The diaper is missing.
hands too large.
the pastor is on the Epstein files , I presume ?
It's a fair assumption.
It looks nothing like the sleepy, wrinkly, plastered and fat Donny of reality.

Any "pastor" willing to do this isn't a child of Christ.
They are a fraud. By the Bible's own words, Jesus will turn them away at the gates of heaven.
It's funny how federal courts are letting Texas enforce displays of the ten commandments in every school classroom while dear leader violates so many of them
kripke from the boyz responded with the homelander golden statue post in response to this.
I sure hope no one defiles that shitty statue. Or rip it down. That would be ~~hilarious~~, whoops, I mean terrible!
