Science Takes Another Step To Putting God on Unemployment

[Chad32]

Yeah, we play god every time we turn on a light switch. Except using electricity is so commonplace now that we forget people used to think lightning came directly from the gods.

I'm sure people will say god does it better, because only he can give something a soul, or that he can poof one up from nothing, while we use what their god gave us. Whatever they can still hold on to for their god to remain special.

After Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod and they started to become popular, buildings with a long history of lightning strikes no longer had an issue with it.  At first the churchy people didn't like seeing lightning rods on their neighbors homes and buildings since at first glance it appeared to them a lightning rod was thwarting God from meting out his lightning bolts of punishment.

And then the folks with lightning rods pointed out that if a simple sharpened iron rod could deflect God's mighty wrath, God maybe wasn't all that mighty, and implying such a thing might be viewed as blasphemy.

And then it was also noted the lowliest and most decadent and depraved brothel in town was never struck by lightning if it had a lightning rod and meanwhile the town church with out one was struck regularly.

At some point the churchy folk decided to just shut the fuck up about lightning rods . . .

It is well documented that Yahweh has trouble when it comes to iron, after all.
