    Amazing moment the world's biggest Christ was struck by lightning

    "The bolt parted the thunderclouds over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to strike Christ the Redeemer.

    The statue is 130ft tall, is made of 700 tons of reinforced concrete and stands atop the 2,296ft Corcovado mountain overlooking the city."

    Any thoughts on this? Personally, the first thing I thought of was our fellow poster, sandy.
    Then I wondered if people are attributing it to natural or supernatural causes.

    Is it it even the first time? I'm not too surprised considering how high that structure is.

    yea, the question is why god did it... probably because he's angry because he said that we're not allowed to make idols.

    It's seems clear to me that it's god, the father punishing god, the son.

    Allah is outnumbered. There is only one allah but there are three gods. God, the father, god, the son and god. the Holy Spirit. Will you never learn ?

    I'm afraid I have caught you out on a technicality. God does not want us to make False idiols.. But a statue of god is a true idol, so it woud not anger god. I still think it was god, the father punishing god, the son

    You two are in cahoots. Lightening strikes twice in the same place

    The statue gets hit and keeps on standing. Maybe its god showing how indestructible he is.
