No, what's sad is that a church that supposedly follows the teachings of Christ would first waste over $250,000 - $300,000 to erect a large statue of him and then propose to rebuild it after this accident, instead of using it to help it's members in need or donate it to worthy charities. That a church has that kind of money to toss around (Or the people running it) says all you need to know about their priorities. If this had been their church and not the statue, it wouldn't have been funny. Or perhaps it would have been even more ironic.
