   So, what did the kid do to piss Gawd off? You know, that’s his thing, and I’m sure all of us have been struck by lightning at least a half-dozen times, right?
   Oh, wait…BWA-HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

   This is going to scare the shit out of gawd zombies. They will use it as “evidence” that gawd does zap people.

   even though we all know that lightning bolts are Gods modus operandi.
   ?!?!?!? I thought that was Zeus. Thought Gawd’s M.O was plagues & talking animals?

   How did I miss this? Jesus actor struck by lightning

   Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus in Mel Gibson’s controversial film The Passion Of Christ.

   The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the film’s assistant director Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few hours from Rome.

   It was the second time Michelini had been hit by lightning during the shoot.

   Why is Gawd targeting little kids? Starting wars just doesn’t get him goin’ anymore?

   Was it the lightning that put the hole through the ceiling or did god throw a meteor their way too?

   Oh, Star… Yeah, I remember that. I think that was one of Mel’s publicity stunts.

   By the way, bad career move or no with the Passion of the Piss Christ, James Caviezel was superb in that remake of the The Count of Monte Cristo.

   Alexandre Dumas‘ stories still rock, even if they are filled with hate and vengeance (hey, it beats watching real war and violence on TV, don’t it?).

   That little girl is also “lucky” to be living in a country where people don’t immediately jump to the conclusion that gawd needs to be thanked for her escape from serious injury.

    Honestly the idea that “God” was involved wouldn’t really occur to too many people here, and if it did the newspaper in all likelihood would probably not even add that. Since the point of the story is the lightning, not the possible theological implications, that just wouldn’t be part of it.

    (Which is why I get p*ssed off when things like happen. Looks like the fundies aren’t content with the US, they’re going after godless Europe now. We even have Creationist bloody schools beginning to spring up here in the UK despite community protests (thanks to Bush’s religio-freak buddy Blair). Zeus help us!)

    MJ,
    I’ve been keeping my eye on that one, and Europe in general has had some rather disturbing events since the War on Terruh began. The Danish cartoons, the head coverings and riots in France, bombings, etc.
    I think His Poopyness has targeted Europe for “re-evangelization”.
    What do you think of all this?

    Is it possible that the lightning, rather than being an act of gawd or even an act of nature, was simply “Deadeye” Dick Cheney futzing around with his new weather machine (and, as per normal, missing his target or did he…bwaaa ha ha)?

    Rat Bastid, I write to many people overseas and several in England and they say that they are seeing a rise in fundie nuttiness and are NOT happy about it one bit.

    Looks like the fundies aren’t content with the US, they’re going after godless Europe now. We even have Creationist bloody schools beginning to spring up here in the UK despite community protests (thanks to Bush’s religio-freak buddy Blair).

    MJ Martin, My friends I write to in England say they are angered by all the fundies coming out of the wordwork there. They all have the same feelings about Bush and Blair as you and I do. Tweedle-dum and Tweedle Dee gain most of their support by scaring and manipulating the ignorant.

    Too bad that wasn’t mentioned at all in any episode of South Park.

    Poor kid, I think it’s kinda sad they got struck by lightning.

16. Sean:

    Yes, Petersen, it is sad.

    Was there a spooky voice from the clouds shortly after, saying “bugger, missed again. Sorry kid!” ?
