He used to be called Jacuzzi Jesus, Big Butter Jesus, and Touchdown Jesus (much to the ire of Notre Dame fan who have their own Touchdown Jesus).
But now they call (what's left of) him "Lightnin' Jesus" -not to be confused with Lightnin' Hopkins, Lightnin' Slim, or Lightnin' Malcolm- after God struck him down with a bolt of lightning!
I for one used to have what is commonly known as "the fear of God" put into me when threatened with punishment by my father. So I suppose it's a father's right to punish his son and God may have done that at the Solid Rock church in Monroe, Ohio. Here's the story.

But it's more likely he punished a church called Solid Rock for erecting a 62' statue of Jesus Christ out of styrofoam and fiberglass!!!
False idols, anyone?? And is the Notre Dame version next on God's list?

Well, he does seem to be asking for a lifeline. Looks like he got one.
Come to think of it, "Lightning Jesus" would be a great bluesman name... especially for a latin player.
