Woman Prays, Gets Hit by Lightning

Saturday June 17, 2006
It appears that Zeus was angry and punished another one of those infidel Christians again. We've seen Zeus send lightning to strike churches during services and kill a bunch of children while they were praying. Zeus even hit Jesus with lightning during the filming of Mel Gibson's movie. Twice. Now he's sent more lightning to strike a woman while praying.

WSBTV in Atlanta reports:

[L]ightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured.

She said 'Amen' and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.

I suppose she is blessed — Zeus took mercy on her and left her alive so that she would have a chance to convert away from her infidel ways. She needs to abandon the false faith of Christianity and help lead people back to the true faith in Zeus and the other Olympian Gods and Goddesses. I hope she figures out what the message really was before it's too late.

Hilarious.

Perhpas you should also make fun of Christian kids who get in accidents and are sick.

It’s called satire.

Emanuel,

You must be thinking of Hermes, not Zeus. You have to go to a whole different temple for Hermes.

You heretics got it wrong: it was Thor who smote this woman with lightning, and all those Zeus-ists and Jupiter-ists will soon get the same!

While Hermes is associated with the Flash, and the Flash with lightning, Zeus is still pretty much the lightning guy.

As for making fun of Christian kids, no, because they’re usually too young and brainwashed and left without options to know better.

Laughing at adults suffering seems fine though.
