Baptists have
come under fire from God, as you can see in this rather startling piccie.
Lightning zapped the steeple of the First Mount Olive Free Willy Baptist Church earlier this week. Well, okay, it's 'Free Will' not 'Free Willy' but I think the latter is funnier and I will be writing to tell them so.
Bishop Oscar E Brown was inside the building when God struck. "We heard a thump, but we didn't think anything of it." He continued his meeting inside the church while the steeple flamed like the baby from
The Incredibles.
Police were hunting for a murderer nearby (this is America remember), but broke off to warn people inside the church of their impending doom. "Some church members peeked from windows and looked at us as if we were a bunch of nuts trying to break in," said one officer.
The steeple collapsed into the church (true). The whole building exploded while the congregation and a plucky dog jumped to safety just in the nick of time (false).
So next time you are condemning someone to burn in hell, just remember there are God-fearing Christians burning in Baltimore too.
