God's Great Horseshoe Crab?

  
Remember the Heaven's Gate group that committed suicide in 1997 thinking they would ride into heaven on the tail of the comet Hale-Bobb? I don't know whether they made it or not, but there seems to be no end to religious beliefs that, at least, challenge mainstream thinking. The current example, I suppose, is the mess going on in Texas.

Now, I don't know if I've stumbled across another such group of, dare I say, weirdoes or not. But, while driving through Blanchester yesterday I spied this giant horseshoe crab parked right next to a church building. I don't know what denomination it was nor do I have any idea why a church, located in Southern Ohio and somewhat removed from the ocean, would want a huge replica of a sea creature next to its walkway.

My thinking, however, is that they possibly support some theory that the horseshoe crab plays a major role in life's mysteries and that it may be the mode of righteous transportation come the day of rapture.
