George Lilly of Denver writes:

The Mother Cabrini Shrine was struck by lightning knocking both arms off of the statue. Do you suppose this is God’s way of telling Roman Catholics to get rid of their idols?

God,

are you describing the Michigan football team's bowl record?

Posted by Campos' accolyte on May 30, 2007 03:47 PM

It's a sign telling the Catholic Church to quit hugging and harboring all the illegals because they are criminals and slothful!!

Campos' accolyte,

Jesus died for the Michigan football team's sins.

Charles,

Is that a Notre Dame reference, or just about poor tackling.

Repair the statue. Then erect a Muslim, Hindu-Indian, Native American, and African statue alongside MOM.

It's God's way of saying He loves Venus de Milo.

No. The reason for the lighting strike is global warming. It also causes tooth decay, bad breath and rap music.

Posted by Agenda on May 30, 2007 04:52 PM

Actually it's another side effect of global warming... Limbal warming.

Where (not in) Christs name is Richard Grimes? He must be preparing for his important lifes work of parking bikes.

I could only imagine something important like that superseding his equally pressing quest to rid mankind of the social burden of religion.

We can only hope , tired legs and all, THE DEICEDE will be up to his unintelligible form and enlighten us all with his ramblings on the ramifications of this undoubtably un-natural act.

Boy, just a few years ago, God struct the Catholic Church on Colfax.

She must hate those freaks.

George Lilly's comments regarding Roman Catholics and their idols...what a bigoted fool.

I like this, it shows the ignorance and single sighted views of many people. Had this been Mecca that was damaged and people made such comments, I am sure there would be calls of racism and hatred filling this page. But seeing it concerned a Christian monument, its anything goes? George Lilly, and the followers, thanks for showing again true ignorance and single sighted hatred towards a single belief.

You're welcome

Nick,

"Had this been Mecca that was damaged and people made such comments, I am sure there would be calls of racism and hatred filling this page."

Had Mecca been hit I would have cared just as little.

Don'tcha love America! Here I can call you and other people of "faith" delusional, irrational, ignorant and Taliban-esque, and I don't have to suffer unspeakable punishment for it. That's because we're a secular society and I don't have to pretend to believe in ghosts and magic.

I love this place.

If I go to Hell,There's alot of people I'm going to speak very highly of.

we are just having way too much fun with this ironic forum. God smacks the arms off a religious statue. Wow!

All these letters comporting with me, except for one, augments my happy camper status. On the serious side: The Jew who came from "the loins of David" from Joseph or from spontaneous combustion and transmogrified into a Christian god to become anti-Semite simply rebelled saying:

"I'm mad as hell and I ain't gonna take it any more," he said, "those b*&@#$% have misrepresented me long enough. I don't look like Odin, the blonde blue-eyed god, damnit: I look like a dark-skinned Jew from Ethiopia which the Catholic Church which does not believe in evolution because it has never evolved, finally evolves a little and gets it right."

And so the transmogrified Jew whose gospel is never preached ala Billy Graham, et al because it is nothing more than fan club gospel as JC was illiterate and ignorant and never reduced anything that he ever said to print tossed a lightning bolt.

Yo: Lone Ranger, I'll enter a secular prayer this helps you since nothing fails like spiritual prayer and even less intercessory prayer. Humans are so credulous: A billion believe in Allah, a billion in Jesus, millions in Jehovah, millions in Joseph Smith’s god Adam aka Michael from outer space Kolog. I leave you with Mark Twain:

“. . . now at least, in our immediate day, we hear a Pope saying slave trading is wrong, and see him sending an expedition to Africa to stop it. The texts remain; it is the practice that has changed. Why? Because the world has corrected the Bible. The Church never corrects it; and also never fails to drop in at the tail of the procession--and take the credit of the correction. As she will presently do in this instance.”

RG, what is always at the tail end? The ass.!

Posted by Sharon B. on June 1, 2007 02:45 PM

Yo Sharon: It is the most important organ or part of the human body because it gets rid of all the c____ created by the other parts; however, personal opinion determines divinity (my status mandates I bad mouth faith every chance I get like Allah creating virgins without the body part you mention for his male slaves: No stools, menses or urine while Christianity creates the woman subordinate to a man to be always on the bottom). I despise patriarchal faith and it is all patriarchal with rare exception.

Solution: 1. Bush's assassination of Saddam is complete: Mission accomplished; declare victory and get out. 2. Assign the troops to the border(s); don't create anymore immigration laws; let them stay without amnesty and repeal the 1984 law granting free medical; deport the criminals (those already incarcerated); deny those staying American citizen rights just as Mexico denies Americans Mexican rights. Enforce the border.

You can be a Risen Christ; I won't object; I'll be a Risen Ape; you don't object. You can believe in nonsense on stilts; I can believe in Mother Nature. America will need her troops to protect against natural catastrophe. Thank you Mother for your attack on Mother Cabrini Shrine.

If the lightning was an omen it might be that Denver has an earthquake problem. Looking down on the highway I-70, the statue might also be a warning that half of the world's oil is gone and global warming is going to become a serious problem. Whatever one's definition of God is, whoever put petroleum into the earth's interior, can cause earthquakes.

The bolt of lightning that struck the statue of Christ above Mother Cabrini Shrine is possibly an omen about what geologists call the Golden Fault. There is evidence that the hogbacks along the fault have moved to the north offsetting creeks from their watersheds similar to the San Andreas Fault in California. When plate tectonics was proven in the 1970s, the geologic maps of the hogbacks running from Littleton to Boulder should have been updated to show these movements. In places these hogbacks and flatirons have fallen into the earth's interior; especially where the city of Golden is now located.

The lightning that struck the statue of Christ above Mother Cabrini Shrine could also be a warning there will be a nuclear war alert and people should not drive to the mountains; especially on Interstate 70. This might be why the arms of the statue were taken off symbolizing driving will not be safe during any confrontation like the Cuban missile crisis. If nuclear war actually happens real earthquakes would probably follow.
