There is an interesting report about a religious bookseller who got struck by lightning:

CBS 4 - A man making a trip from Puerto Rico to South Florida to raise money for his religious education remains hospitalized after he was struck down by a bolt of lightning which flew from clear blue sky on Sunday. He was selling religious materials when he was hit. Hailu Kidane Marian was working with members of his religious group, selling religious materials door-to-door in a Northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood, when the bolt from the blue struck him down.

Your <a href is empty. :) Linkety?

*waits for "God works in mysterious ways" line...*

Maybe the man was just very tall, or holding a big metal pole. Lightning probably doesn't have time to check if you are a devout person before hitting you that's why I sin all the time. Being pure of heart is useless if it won't stop lightning attacks.

God works in mysterious ways!

I HAD to do it ;)

I think it just goes to show... life sucks and then you die.

How do we know this was the wrong guy?

Oh you gotta have FAITH... dun dun dun....

LOL @RightOn.

My new lightening-based weapon is working well it seems.
Excellent.
*checks "beta test" off list

Dude got smote.

Maybe he was selling materials for the wrong religion.

I just bought the life story of Holly Bibble last week, you mean it might not be real?

Maybe Zeus got pissed at the guy...

@Josh:... or Saruman...

I heard they were scientology books...

@Gnorb: Yeah. Definitely don't want to piss Saruman off. Or Sauron, for that matter.

What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster...?

Apparently you're better off paying for your own religious education.

Because there was a kid with acne in front of him; but the kid ducked.

OK, JeffJ, you got the prize for the funniest line (up to now).

I'm with fray. Seriously. They were Scientology books. ;)

It wasn't God.

Someone left the lightning controls unattended.

I guess he picked the wrong god to advertise.

They were a group of Seventh Day Adventists.

the dude is in the hospital and all you can think of is jokes?

you people should be ashamed of yourselves!

;)

Wait a minute. This was supposed to be in the Religion section, not personal.

Ahh well, that proves it. God has a sense of humour. We're not going to hell for this rest assured.

the dude is in the hospital and all you can think of is jokes?

You mean you don't laugh when people fall down? Sheeesh!

Oh, of course there's plenty of laughing, but I go help them get up.

:D I personally think it's kinda the situational humor you'd see in a movie and laugh but if it happened to someone you know, or yourself, I don't think it'd be funny.

We should laugh. After all it's a miracle the guy's not dead. Double miracle if you take into account the kid who ducked.

Actually...I'd still laugh. I'd be worried. But things like this are too much of an irony not to pass on.

Kinda like the time my friend got into a car accident. The events were hilarious. It was serious enough that the car was a total write off and we cared enough to worry even though they were completely fine.

But boy, 120 kph. A bull in the middle of the road. How can that not be funny?

I think that Pickachu was in the sky and thought that the guy was Ash and then shocked the guy!
