Thanks to Fake Messiah for picture.
Yeah, talking about lightning rods and Christianity: Benjamin Franklin's invention of the lightning rod in 1753 was the first practical victory of science over a natural phenomenon, so decades afterward whenever an earthquake hit somewhere in the Christian world priests proclaimed it was a punishment for the sacrilege of using lightning rods to avert the wrath of God.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Doesn't say a lot for God's aim when lightning rods in Boston are punished by an earthquake in Peru.

Drich will tell you to open your heart about the Peru earthquake thing.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yabut, the earth is so small and gods thumb is so big.
I'm guessing it's a bit like trying to type on your iphone..except there's no divine autocorrect function - who would dare to correct a god? Essentially, the Dick Cheney Hunting Party Theory of Heavenly Action - expressed brilliantly by Lewis Black.
