How many are hit by lightning indoors? How many of those that are hit by lightning indoors escape without a scratch?

How many of those that are hit by lightning indoors and escape unharmed had just asked for a sign from God?

Post by: Rutilant on July 06, 2003, 05:00:38 AM: "Afterwards services resumed, however churchgoers realised after 20 minutes that the building was on fire and evacuated"

"The fire was put out after three hours, but damage to the church is estimated at around $20,000."

Oh the irony :D

Post by: beet1e on July 06, 2003, 05:52:51 AM: This thread is likely to get locked. OIO, you're one of my favourite BBS posters, but it looks like you're laughing at someone having died. That's not nice, and trust me: Skuzzy won't like it. You might want to remove that grin thing.

But it does remind me of another tragedy - California about 20 years ago. Someone was being baptised - the full immersion job - but the water heating short circuited, and the person being baptised was electrocuted.

Infinite probability … at some point a random “sign” will appear at just the right time.

Post by: AKS\/\/ulfe on July 06, 2003, 08:23:43 PM: I've stuck a knife in a toaster over, and been electrocuted.

I've been messing around with a bug zapper, and been electrocuted.

I've been working on a power outlet, and been electrocuted.

Aside from the fuzzy feeling throughout my body, I wasn't visibly harmed.

Just because he was zapped by electricity doesn't mean it was extremely high voltage.

You think in some very simple terms Hortlund, just because he got zapped - theres no guarantee he will be harmed.

He didn't get struck by lightning, he was shocked.

Post by: AKS\/\/ulfe on July 06, 2003, 09:22:37 PM: Wasn't enough voltage in any of the above to kill someone, which disqualifies darwinism.

Kind of like trying to commit suicide with a tazer, just ain't gonna happen.

Towards an American?

Doesnt this qualify as terrorism?
He has even used biological weapons before...

Post by: crowMAW on July 07, 2003, 09:39:35 AM: So if it was really a sign from God, why did He set the church on fire. :D

Post by: Gunthr on July 07, 2003, 11:38:30 AM: I asked God to show me a sign in the form of a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank account ... I'm still waiting, checking the mailbox every day... so far nothing
Title: Preacher asks God for a Sign...gets hit by Lightning.
Post by: AWMac on July 07, 2003, 12:17:57 PM: Maybe the sign was "It's time to rebuild the Church."

For some reason I suspect it wasn't thunder they heard afterwards but a loud and almighty... "HAAARRRR"

:D
