Wink See, God is listening...

Well, if this isn't absolute one hundred percent proof of the existence of God, I don't know what is. Hell, last week he sent us a picture of the Virgin Mary in a sealant leak on a window, and now he's electrocuting preachers!

God does the funniest things

But does this prove its Yahweh and co's travelling circus up there, or could God actually be Zeus?

Best Part: Afterwards services resumed, however churchgoers realised after 20 minutes that the building was on fire and evacuated

Also, God charging $20,000 per visit seems a bit steep.

If it was god he was probably just trying to get the guy to shut the fuck up.

I'm skeptical of the philosophical merit of this topic. Off to ~Elsewhere~...

Not to ruin all the humorous speculation, but with all the times that lightning strikes the world each day, and all the times that preachers call out to god during church services, I'm really quite astonished that this sort of thing doesn't happen a lot more often. It would certainly make attending church a lot more likely to be entertaining.
