Officials in the Brazilian city of Encantado have embarked on the construction of a statue of Jesus set to be roughly 16 feet taller than the famous Christ the Redeemer statue that has overlooked Rio de Janeiro for decades.

CNN reported Monday that a Brazilian organization called the Friends of Christ Association is leading the project in southern Brazil, which has already begun the construction of a 141-foot-tall statue of Jesus Christ with outstretched arms like the Cristo Redentor statue.

The new statue is set to be titled Christ the Protector and will be the third-tallest statue of Jesus in the world following a 172-foot statue in Poland and a massive 253-foot statue being built in Mexico.

We need to build one of Greta equally as tall....these science deniers. No wonder Brazil has the second highest COVID fatality numbers

I looked at the list and what struck me is the overwhelming number of these statues are in third, or at best, second world nations.

We should build a statue of Tom Brady that is 1000 feet high.

We also need a new building to beat the Burj Khalifa.

The largest statue struck me as funny.
