Synopsis:  Two city guys are driving along as a rotten oak tree breaks off at the base and crushes the cab.  

Talk about bad karma.

That's not bad luck.  That's the creator selecting SMITE from the drop down menu.  

Then he gets a message box on his screen: "Do you really want to smite these two guys?  ENTER /  CANCEL"

He hit the ENTER key and it was lights out.

A high school kid my family knows was killed when a branch was struck by lightning during a storm, and smashed through his windshield, impaling him.

My g/f told me about some news clip that said a 67 year old woman in Italy was killed when a 3 meter tall crucifix fell on her.

How bad do you have to piss God off to get crushed by a crucifix?

i came close once- while camping in St croix falls, WI we had a site right on the st. croix river.  there was this huge, dead oak(i think) right next to the river.  we were down playing in the water ,etc and i noticed it was pretty rotted.  so of course i tried to push it down (darwin?)  it wouldnt budge so we went up the small hill to the site and CRUNCH!...Splash! the thing fell over-right in the river.  it was loud as hell.  guess we were lucky we were not near it.  It was weird knowing we got to watch this 150 year old tree keel over and were there to watch it happen.  and how close we came to becoming pancakes.

It reminds me of that show on Showtime, I can't think of the name though. It's on fridays. Grim reapers go around and collect peoples souls.

God doesn't go around doing that to people.  

There is a valuable lesson here.  Life is precarious and the world is capricious.  Live life honorably and love others deeply.  You never know when you might be killed or someone you love is taken from you.  Trust me; I know.

Falling Crucifix Kills Woman
Wed Sep 22, 8:21 AM ET

ROME (Reuters) - A 67-year-old woman was killed when a three-meter tall metal crucifix fell on her head in a small southern Italian town on Wednesday, police said.

The cross, which has been in the main square on Sant'Onofrio for decades, fell on Maddalena Camillo while workers were setting up lights for an annual religious festival.

Italy, home to the Vatican City, is a predominantly Roman Catholic country where crucifixes and religious icons and effigies are a common sight in most towns and villages.

Has the Star Tribune linked the oak tree issue to a concealed carry/AWB slant yet?

Are liberals what happens when God's PC crashes while performing the BREED subroutine?

In my part time duty as a first responder I worked a wreck where a small car hit an 18 wheeler head on in a 70 mph zone. The driver died and the passenger did not have a scratch on her. The car was cut in half down the middle, and the passenger just stepped out where the engie should have been.

The good Lord has pretty good aim when the time is there. Trust him not to miss.. fullclip

Nah, He doesn't need it.  In the event of a system crash there's always a full recovery.  Haven't you heard?...Jesus saves.

You think God uses a GUI?  I don't think so, it's probably something more like:

Note that there's no "Are you sure? (y/n)," because he's always sure.z
