Tego w Polsce jeszcze nie było! W małym miasteczku koło Zielonej Góry stanie gigantyczny pomnik Chrystusa. Będzie tylko o dwa metry niższy od sławnego posągu Jezusa w Rio de Janeiro. Miejscowy proboszcz już zaczął budowę
Jezus ze Świebodzina a Jezus z Rio
Wysokość: * Świebodzin - 30 m, Rio - 32 m * Wysokość głowy: Świebodzin - 3,6 m, Rio - 3,5 m * Szerokość ramion: Świebodzin - 25 m, Rio - 23 m. Liczba schodków w środku: Świebodzin - 230, Rio - 222.

Let them build it if they want, but personally I don't think we need any huge statutes to demonstrate our faith.

the idea is ludicrous.
if they build that thing then the world has every right to tell Polak jokes for the next 300 years. |

That is amazing. I personally am not in favour of it.
The money could be spend elsewhere.

Hahaha, that's right, my mom was born there and I support their local side.
I heard about this already but I don't really have an opinion on it. If that is their will, so be it.

Yea you're right ever since the statue went up in Rio me and my buddies can't stop cracking on Brazilians.
This will bring in the business of tourism for the area and the local economy will most likely profit from people visiting. So it might be a good thing. |

Have you heard the one about the Polak who put up a large statue in Swiebodzin ?
Personally I give this project the thumbs up

Who cares, a few people here may disagree but since they are building it i guess someone must support it. Someone said about puting the money to a better use... Wroclaw & Gdansk want new super stadiumd, haha now that's a joke and a waist of money.
I'm for it, looks nice.

| Rejtan's absolutely right. If it's tourism we're going for with this idea, then a Buddy Christ statue would attract a lot more attention then some typical stiff-faced Jesus. |
