News Article Title:  "God strikes 'gay' radio station with lightning.  Link to Article.

Quote
Excerpt from article:
A homosexual webcasting radio station claims its facility was struck by lightning, frying critical phone equipment, and that an anti-"gay" activist's prayers are responsible for the hit.

Two notes on this:

1)  They say God is responsible, but none of them repented.   Sad

2)  They blamed it on God because Fred Phelps' daughter said, "I hope God shuts you two up good!"  Now, first, I believe Fred Phelps' church (www.godhatesfags.com) has very little to do with God.  Plus, a church was struck by lightning during a revival in the recent past that caused (I think about) $70,000 in damage.  Did God do both?

I think it may have very little to do with the supernatural, and a lot to do with people being too dumb to put well-grounded lightning conductors in buildings with much expensive electrical equipment.

I find it unlikely their seriously saying it was God acting in response to Phelp's prayers.

I've emailed them asking for their actual statement.

I was just quoting the news article on that one.

I still really like the title of your thread though it's quite humorous.  I like your straight to the point style.  It's sort of like mine.   Cheesy  It doesn't go over all that well with some folk but oh well, tell it like it is.

I still find it humorous most people still don't know that lightning strikes up not down.  It's quite strange but quite interesting.

Thanks for the encouragement.  I thought it did both.  Huh
