Well, clearly that’s what happens when you lie a little in your prayers.

I’m sure they deserved it.  Building a metal cross at the top of a hill sounds like a Christian thing to do.  Reminds me of a favorite quote from Terry Pratchett:

He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting “All the Gods are bastards.”

pwned!  YOU GOT SMOTE!  suffer the little children, indeed.

Jeezus you’re a cynical pack a bastards.

Zilch - that Pratchett is a twisted bastard.
I’m sure he musta been the fella who said: He was in a leaky boat that floated like a bowling ball doesn’t.

Jeezus you’re a cynical pack a bastards

Well, the christians always say they prayed to god and he answered their prayers when they were in some disaster. The reverse logic should be true too.

Lol. Reminds me of the chronology in our family bible (250+ years old!). The old times, it seems that every second entry was “And then the drought was very heavy and all the cattle died. May God never send such a drought again!” and “The flood washed away three houses. May Good never send such waters again.”

I kid you not. Actually, the entries were pretty sparse (seems my people weren’t big on writing until I came along and wrote more babble in one days email than they did in a year or more). But it makes you wonder at the guy reading that stuff of his forefathers and then adding his own little “We got whacked, lets hope he doesn’t do it again!” spiel to it....

God invited these children to heaven to be with him, because they were good. Or maybe it was conductivity.
