Giant Jesus Rising in Świebodzin ( Tallest in world )

Why? Would you have a problem with a statue of Lucifer in your town? It may seem like a ridiculous question to you, but I'm actually trying to tell you something else.

;)


Exactly my thoughts.


Suuuure. As if you know anything about what happens after we're not here anymore. But if you do, you should write a book about that, because it seems to me a lot of people are dying to find out.

;P

The RCC is rather big on idolatry! But they don't see it as a sin in the same way that Protestant churches do, so I guess it's no problem on their part.


No no, Kaczynski's statue must be bigger. He is the Second Coming, after all.

Why is no-one fuming, fulminating at the mouth and lashing out in hysterical frenzy at Rio de Janeiro's statue which inspired the one at Świebodzin?

Because it's Rio de Janeiro. It's not some provincial backwater village in a minor European country.

Anyway, we're not fuming, but laughing.

Because it's in Brazil and Brazilians paid for it?

yeah ?, you tell people what they should do with their money !
I can tell you what to do with yours - will you obey ? if not shut up your cute silly usteczka!

What is the problem OP? are you weak in the head??seems to be retardish somehow!

Could be that Rio is a huge city and Świebodzin is a small town. Plus Rio's Statue is build on a mountain, not a small hill. It will just look comic to build a huge statue in the middle of nowhere...

Świebodzin
Rio de Janeiro

Never mind.It's being built using private donations.I this case I don't care.


I would gladly exchange this statue for hookers and weed.

no dinero ? and illegal in this country ? a criminal element eh?

Consider it an investment... Tourists to pay admission... admission can go towards orphanages.... repeat for years to come.

Nothing's wrong with it guys. Poles lived under the Russian occupation and had to take all kinds of Soviet symbols long enough. The church was the only institution that gave them hope. The statue of Jesus is probably seen as a symbol of freedom of Poles and Poland.

Would you rather have a Jesus statue or a country that resembles France? Cant you see that the Muslims are taking over Europe? There must be 40 million by now, you should be glad that you live in Poland:)

1% of the population: Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia. 1%-2% of the population: Belarus, Croatia, Italy, Monaco, Ukraine. 2%-4% of the population: Andorra, Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain. 4%-5% of the population: Germany, Greece, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, United Kingdom. 5%-10% of the population: Austria, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Sweden. 10%-20% of the population: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Montenegro, Russia. 30%-50% of the population: Bosnia Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania. 70%-90% of the population: Kosovo. 90%-100% of the population: Turkey.

So within the European Union, we have an estimated number of 16-20 million Muslims and about 813-820 million Europeans. If we're going to count Turkey, Russia and a few other countries, then we would have an estimated number of about 53 million Muslims. Keep in mind that no one has the exact figures, but looking at various sources, I'd say that these estimations are pretty close to reality.

:)

The idea of the huge statue is embarrassing. Why is my old country going so backward? When will the people see the light that the church want to put them back in the middle ages? You know..serfs to the church... Please wake up! You did not get yourself free form communism only to get entangled in the rosary chains. Down with TRWAM.

Hes from your own BBC, how much longer can you last?
So, in France yesterday was that the whole 10%? Just wait till it get to 30-40%

Simple but elegant indeed, distilling the essence of Christianity and Polish patriotism into two brilliant sentences! Man you've got a talent, this should be the preface for the new Polish Bible edition, unadulterated and pure... (and uncensored ).

Giant step backwards.
It is kinda funny, tho.
"Let's go see Giant Jesus, kids!"
"Why is it so big, Daddy?"

To the critics here: Raise your hand if you applauded when the Taliban was dynamiting the giant statues of Budda in Afganistan. Well, I didn't think so.

A Polish-American family has been carving the Crazy Horse statue out of a moutain in South Dakota for years now.

Poland made crazy horse.

thats Awesome!

And the Sioux country is beautiful.



Let people build statues, Jesus statue is fine for me in this country; we had the Lenin statues already so time for change. :)

that's pretty cool. Far cry from a Giant Jesus on a mound.

I'm glad you converse with priests, but I think they were just messing with your head. lol

How in the hell is this gonna increase foreign tourism? I am assuming that this statue is gonna be in the middle of nowhere so why would a Brit or an American fly all the way to Poland just to travel for hours in a car from the airport to see this statue and nothing else?

Why oh why did the op have to slip another superlative into the title again? Wasnt the title 'Giant Jesus rising' enough? Typical Polish.

This is alnoist as rediculous as this Radio Maria group who want to oficially make Jesus the King of Poland.

when will this country free itself from the clutches of the RCC?

Maybe they like Jesus and want to see the statue. When giant staues fall they need to be in the boondocks, so don't complain.

Personally, I would like a giant King Kong built in the place of Pałac Kultury. As new highrise buildings increase in Warsaw, the effect would get better and better. The whole urban planning would be around the kong. Talk about tourism then.

But where is the nearest airport to this place? Or the nearest big city???? I imagine as a Brit, I would fly to see this Jesus statue, then wht do I do after? Head to the local sklep spozywczy and get drunk with the local farmers I suppose.

Write a book about hell? There's no need for me to do that. There are already countless
books on the subject.

Anyway - the statue of Jesus is being built and the best thing is, that there is absolutely
nothing that godless twats on this forum (or anywhere else) can do about it :)

*apart from frothing at the mouth :)*

Truly, a missed opportunity.

As for Świebodzin, I drive past it or through it on the way to the German border. Bizarre choice of location. If you want somewhere provincial yet accessible, the hills above Gorzów WLKP would have been ideal - land cheap as chips, maximum visibility in all directions, and JP2 visited in 1997.

(What's more, it would show that you in fact can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear)

Manmade art can only compliment nature so, yes, it would be good to work with her with a large statue as this one. Missed opportunities abound.

very nice. Finally that somebody in Slavic world make something like this

Thank you Poljaci i Poljakinje

How about the latest fashion in Heaven? Oh, what does Maria look like?

xD


If God exists then I'm not godless, and if he doesn't then I am. Simple.
