A message from God

A guest post by CA

"Lightning strike destroys Touchdown Jesus statue"

Familiar Ohio landmark reduced to blackened steel skeleton after being struck by lightning'"

"A six-storey statue of Jesus Christ in a midwestern US city was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, leaving only a blackened steel skeleton and pieces of foam that were scooped up by curious onlookers yesterday."

Now, of course, we rationalists are offended by the thought that God was trying to make some sort of statement about the existence of such a statue, although Orthodox Jews do believe in hashgacha pratis. But it is possible that the only message God was trying to send was to not make 6-story statues out of flammable materials, especially if they are erected in places subject to sever thunderstorms. What do you think? What does the DovBear community think?

DB: It seems perfectly clear to me that God hates Jesus and he used the lightning strike to make this perfectly clear. Why He waited all this time to destroy the statue, and why He allows other such statues to survive are what we of the faithful joyfully term "one of the mysteries" /snark
