I am of the camp who are saying that it's an awful waste of 250G's. There are a lot of other needy areas, aka missionaries who could make good use of that...

I would also like to comment to people who are making the observation that the statue doesn't look like the 'classical Jesus'. I would like to know where we got the 'classical Jesus' from... the long hair, the beard, etc. I know that the beard is factual, but the long hair thing, I"m not sure of. Also, most pics I've seen of the classic Jesus is as a white guy. I don't think Jesus was white, or Anglo Saxon to be more exact.
I just find it odd that we all sort of visualize Jesus in the same way...the same stereotyped guy. We're such creatures of habit. Anyways, just my observation...
