Here's a close-up pic of the statue. Kinda freaky.

It's not winking if it's stuck that way. I'd be leery of any one-eyed Jesus. No depth perception. Wonder what the statue would do if somebody placed a Bible at "eye level". Shut the eye and wince is my guess. And like Dagon, fall on its face to the earth. Here's a good spot to open the Bible:


Leviticus 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Or how about:


1 Samuel 5:1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
1 Samuel 5:2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
1 Samuel 5:3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
1 Samuel 5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
1 Samuel 5:5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
