Religous Types - Ever questioned your faith ?
Why do Religions feel the need to install lightning conductors on their places of worship :Suspiciou
|
God told them to :Suspiciou
|
My plane got struck by lightning yesterday
|
I wish I had my own plane :(
|
Did it burn the wood? :(
|
Perhaps for the same reasons we look right, look left and right again before crossing the road :lol1:
|
Well duh...
It's because the Ecclesiastical Insurance Society doesn't cover for acts of God. True - you couldn't make it up... SB |
But EVERYTHING is an act of god :Suspiciou or is it the divine goddess ?
|
Hmmm :wonder:
Maybe I should get into the insurance business then? SB |
Reminds me of the Billy Connolly film where he sues the church as gods representatives, as an act of god destroyed his boat :thumb:
|
Great film - The man who sued God.
Recommended to me by my vicar, actually. :) SB |
There is nothing to say that one cannot take action to avoid such a thing. Not a very clever thread however with the underlying effort at denigration.

Les Thanks for your worthless contribution to a stupid thread :lol1: . While you're here - maybe you can explain why churches feel the need to take preventative action against acts of God - maybe God doesn't like churches ? |
As a Jedi, I need no lightning conductor, as the will of the force will dictate to where it strikes :)

Proof that Jedi is a better Faith than Christianity :notworthy |
Les, why does the question so bad.
Surely if they are truly faithful it will only make it stronger and dont these kind of questions need asking occasionally ? |
I don't think it was entirely worthless Jasey. I don't think a lightning strike is so much an act of God, morely just a natural event and it is sensible to protect against it. I did not thing too much of the inference behind the question, but then I wouldn't would I, for similar reasons to yours being dead against religion. Quite reasonable to defend it don't you think?
I hope that answers your question as well J4CKO. Les |

I hope that answers your question as well J4CKO. Les 1) You've got the wrong god and so he's happy to see your church burn 2) God really isn't interested in what humans do 3) God doesn't have the power to interfere 4) God is dead 5) God never existed. |
Why put a roof on the church, if he can deflect lightning then surely he can deflect rain too?

Anybody remember this? ;)
1984 - NEW BISHOP (County Durham) David Jenkins becomes the new Bishop of Durham. He is noted for his outspoken and controversial beliefs, including doubts over the resurrection of Christ and the Virgin birth. He is consecrated at York Minster. July 1984 - MINSTER FIRE (York) A major fire destroys parts of York Minster after it is hit by lightning. :lol1: |
