Jesus Struck by Lightning Pic!

[Analog]

This amazing picture taken of the Christ Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro puts a new meaning to the phrase 'touched by the hand of God.'

The 130 foot tall statue which is located on the peak of the Corcovado Mountain, was stuck by lightening during a storm in the Brazilian city displaying this divinely electric image.

Named one of the modern Wonders of the World in 2007, the statue which is the largest one of Christ and can be seen for miles appeared unscathed from the miraculous bolt.

Of course, lightning travels from the ground up to the clouds...

I betcha he had just finished saying: "well if God exists why doesn't he strike me down with lightning!"

i'm wondering how this was recorded, almost looks photoshopped/staged in some way.

The same way all other lightning strikes are recorded?

It is staged. Putting a statue on top of a mountain is just ASKING to have it get hit by lightning.

I bet you that it has the miracle of science saving it, a.k.a proper grounding.

Reminds me of the nutjobs talking about all the lightning strikes during the filming of "the passion" and how god was doing all kinds of spaking to show his approval and nostalgia.

This is kinda cool though.

No full-resolution picture?

That sucks.

 

[moshquerade]

wow... very cool :Q

 

[UNCjigga]

Pshaw, that's nothing. Now if said statue suddenly woke up, stepped off its pedestal, walked down the mountain and started terrorizing Rio, THAT would make me a believer!

I like how they spell lightning two different ways in the same article.

Zeus > Jesus.

 

[DangerAardvark]

I am immortal. I have inside me blood of kings!

It's the quickening.

 

[amicold]

Let's get realistic, it's a big metal jesus on top of a fucking mountain, of course lightning will strike it.
