China unveils colossal sculpture of Chinese God of war “Guan Yu” in Jingzhou city.

[Kontinuum]

why does the western world have such weak gods?

God in Abrahamic religions is omnipotent.

[Blobfish]

Awesome Statue.. kind of looks like Neptune (king of the Sea)

But it is Guan Yu legendary Dynasty Warrior

Unusually for a God of War, he uses his skill to avoid confrontations if at all possible.
A peace-loving deity, he tries to minimize every battle he’s in. But his bravery is legendary.

No way dude, Jesus looks like he'd get his ass kicked in virtually any fight. That ain't no omnipotence.

[Chrysia]

What dynasty warriors game is he from again?

Literally all of them? They're all based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so they have mostly the same cast of characters.

Looks pretty bad-ass.

Maybe Europe can pool so that we can build a badass looking Odin/Tyr or Ares statue. Though I would prefer something with tits. Maybe an Athene? Would also fit better for the EU as we don't have to pretend that our dicks are bigger than they are .

Or we just build some awesome "sciencey shit" instead. I'm down for the last one, if we build statues again they would probably look shit since we lost the art of .. well, genuine art.

Pffft! He doesn't have any followers.

China's illegal World of Warcraft Theme park has cool statues as well.

The park features absolutely gigantic Warcraft statues, themed rides, and a cafe in a castle perched at the top of a massive stone staircase. It's in Changzhou, China, it's called Joyland, and Forbes reports that it cost $48 million to build.
And it is entirely, audaciously illegal, as a copyright violation.

Athena definitely. Ares isnt really much of a "positive" god of war.

Good luck smacking Zeus. He probably turns himself in a bull and fuck your missus as well before destroying everything.

Haha true.

[derpkitteh]

as a people, i think humans need to get back to monument building. none of the buildings and shit we have now will survive for thousands of years like the things our ancestors made.

i doubt this one will last either, but it's nice definitely. japan should make statues of its deities, they got some really cool ones.

[gyrados]

as a fan of the dynasty warriors series only one thing i can say to this GUAN YU DRAGON!!!!

No way dude, Jesus looks like he'd get his ass kicked in virtually any fight. That ain't no omnipotence.

depending on the version of christianity, jesus is either a separate god or a representation of god with him being the only god.

but the abrahamic god yahwe is by far the most powerful of all the deities, he's truly omnipotent.

[Aeula]

Now THAT is what I call a statue.

None of this stupid 'modern art' that consists of truck tires stuck together with fermented bird shit.

If only every country could build something like this statue. The world would be a better place if we spent more money on statues like this and less of funding potential terrorists in backwater countries.

[Saiona]

Yeah. Lets forget about hunger and poverty, human rights violations around the world.

Peasants will be peasants. We need more big statues may I suggest GWB with m16s and an 8 pack
