- fadeout, on 10/11/2007, -4/+86Where's your Messiah now, Flanders?
- deadowl, on 10/11/2007, -3/+77Entertainment cliches in real life are happening in the real world at an alarming rate recently.
- SmackMyMac, on 10/11/2007, -9/+72Thor? Try Zeus!
- Coven, on 10/11/2007, -7/+63See evangelicals? That was god saying "Knock it off and let them be"
- duggtodeath, on 10/11/2007, -10/+60The ironing is delicious!
- silencerider151, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45ironing? I don't see any wrinkles in this story.
- Lark7, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36Moral: When selling religious materials door-to-door, don't be the guy holding the metal crosses.
- Battleloser, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32Oh the ironing.
- AdvancedSoul, on 10/11/2007, -5/+31The bible says you receive freely, give freely. It's wrong to sell religion.
- mammajamma, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Even better than the irony in the story is the guy who can't spell illiterate.
- mpninja, on 10/11/2007, -3/+26Had this happened to an atheist pushing his beliefs door-to-door, the religious groups would be shouting that it was a sign from god. However, this is of course just a coincidence being that it happened to one of their own.
- meshman, on 10/11/2007, -7/+29Every time God opens a door, he slams it in the face of religious nutjobs.
- noahhoward, on 10/11/2007, -2/+24It is a direct quote of The Simpsons, ironing is used deliberately here. I love when morons don't even realize they are...................... then spout off in front of others like they actually know something..................priceless
- Wonkanobi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+23Pun Squad, assemble!
- DarthTurducken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18An iron is a terrible thing to taste.
- atdigg, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21Nah... the guy was called to Heaven earlier as a prize for his devotion.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20The Bible also says that Bats are Birds, donkeys can talk, & that it is an abomination unto the Lord to eat prawn cocktail.
- toxicityj, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16oh come on. that was simply a pat on the back from God. and sometimes God pats a little too hard.
- mc7winkie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Wow. I never said I was a homophobe or hated gay people. All I said is that it was kind of funny that it happened like that. I mean really. But since people are laughing their damned asses at a religious person getting struck by lightning it's okay? Damn, double standards are a bitch.
- carbonetc, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15The religious group's explanation: "The implications of the event weren't in line with our beliefs, so it was definitely just an unfortunate coincidence."
- HyperJack, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Yep. This happened to some nuns recently didn't it. They were worshipping in front of a statue and lightening struck the statue and the statue was smashed in front of them.
- noahhoward, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11*bzzZZt*
- GiggleStick, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Psychotic much? He chuckled at it, your screaming like a raving lunatic.
- twisterrust, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Relax dude, it is not like every time someone say something incorrect ,you have to make sure you choke his throat :)
- TTSkipper, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10I bet the sales pitch went something like this.
Two-Minute Warning by George Carlin
Just as in football, two minutes before you die you receive an audible warning: "Two minutes! Get your ***** together!" And the reason most people don't know about it is because the only ones who hear it are dead two minutes later. They never get a chance to tell us.
But such a warning does exist, and I suggest that when it comes, you use your two minutes to entertain and go out big. If nothing else, deliver a two-minute speech. Pick a subject you feel passionate about, and just start talking. Begin low-key, but, with mounting passion, build to a rousing climax. Finally, in the last few seconds, scream at those around you, "If these words are not the truth, may God strike me dead!" He will. Then simply slump forward and fall to the floor. Believe me, from that moment on, people will pay more attention to you. - skjede, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Caddyshack anyone?
- protogenxl, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8What about Zeus?
- jgzman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Possibly I am mistaken, but it seems to me that 20 miles away is pretty damn cloudless.
Yea, if there was a storm 20 miles away, I could definitely look up and say, "Wow, there's not a cloud in the sky!" (assuming the storm was the only source of clouds around. - Wonkanobi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10Irony FTW
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I don't recall reading anywhere in the article what religious faith they were a part of.
- simplynix, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6He saw the light, but didn't react fast enough.
He was trying to keep his ion the lord.
At least fear the power of god, Atmosphere his sense of humor.
/got nuthin' - ubuwalker31, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5The victim of the dry lightning strike was a seven day adventist, if anyone is curious.
- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5mmmmmmm. . .prawn cocktail
- mc7winkie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Ummm... I think you guys are crazy when you would be appalled if someone did not approve of gay people but feel completely justified in calling ANYONE a "soul-soliciting pig *****" You know just because someone tells you something or says something doesn't mean you need to get in a tizzy. I'm so tired of people saying "All those Christians who are ruining America should stop complaining about titties on TV." Well stop complaining about people sending a message in real life.
- carbon12, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9Lightning is apparently God's favorite way to dispense justice!
http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Lightning_Strikes_Jesus_Statue - monkey1016, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Great job today John..... Zap.... oops wrong button!
- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff is going to come down for a while.
- ruley, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Zeus? its ***** Thor.
- antiNeo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Zeus is from Greek mythology, while Thor is from Norse mythology. They're both thunder gods.
- dorianh49, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Seventh-Day Adventists: http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI54190/
- noahhoward, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Sounds like god let an over-eager Jesus try his hand at tossing out some justice.
- disciple83, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I'm sorry, I may have missed it in the article and the video, but where did you get that quote from?
- AdvancedSoul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4But, donkeys can talk. You've obviously never seen shrek
- CuCullin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6The humor comes from the fact that *he* believes in God, and it is typically such a believer would consider this to be an act of God. So if I don't believe in God, I can still laugh, because of their perception. In other words..... no.
- xGeneric, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Dugg for Ironing.
- tuxdude98, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Seventh Day Adventist according to http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI54190/
- redandgold, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3..but i didnt even fin*bzzZZt*
- sobe86, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Well I for one hope the guy is OK.
- shm1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You mean you can't argue with such profound idiots.
