MONROE — Officials at Solid Rock Church, where a 62-foot statue of Jesus burned down because of a lightning strike, have declined an offer from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to rebuild it with a vegan message.
PETA representatives suggested via a faxed letter to the church that, in exchange for a grant, Jesus would be built with a lamb in his arms and a message inscribed on the statue: “Blessed Are the Merciful. Go Vegan.”
PETA sent the letter to the church’s pastors, the Revs. Lawrence and Darlene Bishop. It said the money would be donated in part by a devoutly Christian PETA supporter, officials said. The letter states the following:
As you can guess, the church said no.
Good call Solid Rock Church. "I'd rather be crucified naked than wear fur" just wouldn't work.
I don't recall any of the ten commandments saying "thou shalt not eat meat"… 😉
"God" forbid you cretins have any compassion! OH NOES! Meat eaters disgust me.
