OUCH! - Zinjanthropos - Oct 19, 2026
If God isn’t pleased then it doesn’t matter who you are. This is right out of Dave Allen at Large or Monty Python.

Livestream….tool of the devil. He paid the price. Tough way to exit.
I can empathize. Remember as a young guy I had a summer job delivering appliances. One day two of us were carrying a small freezer down some stairs when a fairly heavy crucifix fell from the wall above and struck my head causing some blood loss. The customer had offered me a mini-Bible when I knocked on her door earlier and I refused it. God made me pay. Those things are weapons as well as executioner’s device.

Didn't a gate recently fall and injure/kill some christians? Links are full of Bill Gates so I can't find it on the 'net. End of days starting rather less dramatically than advertised.

Yes, a large wooden entrance archway fell at a major Christian event, killing one person and injuring several others.
On August 28, 2026, a massive wooden overhead entrance sign bearing the words "Everything’s Unmissable" collapsed due to strong winds at the Big Church Festival in West Sussex, UK.
The details of the incident include:
The Victim: Robert Guanco, a 41-year-old pastor from Eastbourne, tragically died at the scene.
Injuries: At least six other people were injured and hospitalized by the falling structure.
Festival Cancellation: Organizers immediately canceled the remainder of the three-day festival and sent thousands of attendees home early.

Thinking of that Ecuadorian priest. Could it be murder? It would take some ingenuity to figure out where the cross would fall and where to place the priest. But what better way to keep the priest in one place than to give him a mic and stream the mass. Wonder if police thinking something suspicious going on,

What do you think the odds/chances are for Trump to be smited by a Trump™ sign?
I'm pretty sure there would be a lot of people turning to religion if that happened, I couldn't tell you if they would be praying for their own sins or thanking a super benevolent omniscient entity

"Smitten" ,surely?
Anyway I would prefer if the poor man was to succumb to a bout of fake illness or to an unnatural smothering from his fake wife.
Still a fake Gregity Peck might be cast in a role where the Orange Turd might be flattened by a huge tome of 11 Corinthian Babes falling off from Notre Dame as he was attempting to infiltrate (a big word ,I know) a Communist Muslim cell in Paris.
