U.S. — Tragedy unfolded at a sporting event over the weekend, as a professional athlete was struck by lightning after unexcusably failing to thank Jesus Christ for giving his team the victory in the game.

The traumatic incident occurred following the Los Angeles Rams' playoff win over the Chicago Bears, as Rams second-string longsnapper Garrett Drift met with the media during the team's postgame press conference.

"It was a hard-fought win, I'm glad we were able to pull it off," Drift began when asked by a journalist about the game. "We really pulled together as a team, we focused on executing and doing our jobs, and we came out with the victory."

Drift, an outspoken Christian, concluded his brief remarks to the press without giving credit to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the win, committing an egregious error that witnesses said was immediately met with divine judgment.

"As soon as he finished his statement, a bolt of lightning shot down and fried him," said one journalist who was present at the press conference. "It was instantaneous. But, I mean, what else did he expect? He didn't thank Jesus for the victory. That's a major no-no. If he regains consciousness, he'll have learned a very meaningful lesson."

At publishing time, Drift was in stable condition at a nearby hospital, where friends and family were hoping he'd remember to thank Jesus for bringing him out of his coma as soon as he woke up.

I see no humor this time.

I’m waiting for someone to blame Jesus when they lose.

In the sense of cause, that would be consistent with omniscience and omnipotence, knowing all that can be know, of all effects, in all places, unto eternity, and thus allowing and acting according to what is/will ultimately be just, as well as merciful and gracious. But when we blame God as if He was acting wrongly, we are presuming omniscience. As i have too often.
