(AP) - A giant likeness of Jesus Christ has replaced a similar iconic statue that was destroyed two years ago in a lightning fire in southwest Ohio.

Nicknamed "Hug Me Jesus," the statue depicts a full-bodied Jesus who's standing with open arms.

5. ROMNEY DAMAGE CONTROL
(AP) - Mitt Romney continues to try to tamp down the fallout from his secretly recorded comments about nearly half of Americans believing they are "victims." Speaking at a fundraiser in Atlanta, Romney said both he and President Barack Obama care about the poor and the middle class. But Romney says only he can help those groups. Meanwhile, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows Americans are heading into the home stretch to Election Day feeling better about the country's future and about how President Barack Obama is doing his job. Still, the race remains tight.
6. DID JESUS HAVE A WIFE?
(AP) - Scholars are questioning the discovery by a Harvard scholar that a fragment of text from the 4th century suggests that Jesus may have had a wife. A professor of early Christianity announced yesterday that the text includes a dialogue in which Jesus refers to "my wife," whom he identifies as Mary. One expert is wondering whether the document was authentic. Another says it looks like a forgery. Any evidence on whether Jesus was married or had a female disciple could affect current debates on the role of women in the church.
