I don't think I can avoid it at this point, no matter what I post.

Infidels, 'nuff said.

No one put a lightning rod up there?

That wasn't a statue of Jesus. It was of the anti-christ, and now God got angwy.

 

[SineCosine]

The anti-christ kinda' looked like Jesus, eh?

Nah, I don't look anything like him IRL:nuts:

 

[Nherwyziant]

I'm not religious anyway, so there's no worry for me, in fact, Wow, that's a lucky shot(i'll give it 9/10) :thup:

I'm a religious Christian, and am proud about it.

But to be honest, this doesn't sound like a "sign from God" at all...

(I say my sorries to those that will scream at me for saying this x_x)

Besides. If these guys were actually religious, I think they were aware when Jesus said "to forgive all our sins", and I think that meant that he says that there they shouldn't resolve to violence and death anymore, but healing instead (I have never heard of a "tragic miracle" after Jesus died on the cross, well except the Armageddon but yeah). Wouldn't that mean like, oh I dunno. NOT striking down a foundation that actually uses his teachings as it's supporting columns?

They did have lightning rods, but they didn't work.

I'm a religious Christian, and am proud about it.

I was beginning to wonder if anyone on The Helper was

 

[Zakyath]

Hahah God must really hate his son.

Maybe it's a sign from Zeus that the christian god doesn't exist. Maybe Jesus has returned to earth, but is ignoring his sacred mission for cocaine and women - while ignoring his father's calls. Or, maybe it's just a test of faith! The devil's work maybe? Or, most likely, as drake said: "Personally, I think its a sign that when you stick wood on a metal frame it attracts lightning and catches on fire"

 

[FireCat]

The sculpture, which was 62 feet tall

No wonder it was struck by lighting.. really!

 

[Glivee]

LOL @ Religious ppl actually thinking this was some gesture from god or whatever. Poor ppl who belive in something that doesent exist

 

[Samael88]

doesent exist

I am not religious in any way and I still feel like saying: Prove it before stating something like that

Oh, no!
You'd better not get one of these threads starting.
Everyone will just argue and no one will believe the other.

In the end, we would be getting no where <.<

Maybe it's a sign from Thor that the christian god doesn't exist.

Fixed.

 

[Zakyath]

Fixed.

As a swede I of course thought of that. It was a typo. Thank you for the correction.

 

[Razalgrim]

Christian bro here.

I take it as a sign that shit's about to heat up down here in the mortal realm. Lock and load.

 

[Winterherz]

this reminds me of the tower of babel.....................................................

 

[Vicboy]

For a second, I thought it was the Jesus statue in Brazil. Would have my mouth opened for a day or two if it was.

Anyway, for people who doesn't believe in a faith and are only here to tease people with faith, stop it.

From that link, it seems that statues have a good chance of getting struck by lightning. So I wouldn't say that this is something out of the ordinary. Probably they have a big chance of getting struck because of the metals they have inside.

So, yeah, I'm not going to say that this is a sign of anything. :thup:

PS: Catholic here. How come the Simpsons view us as extremely prayerful and such? Just wondering because I never even knew the Simpsons were Protestant.

 

[Drakethos]

I'm religious myself, but it doesn't seen like a sign to me. But I sure will miss seeing Butter Jesus off the side of the highway .
