God has a sick sense of humor

Post by _hugh jass »

So according to an official Apostle of the Mormon Jesus, a Mormon boy was healed after being struck by lightning. Healed not by the EMTs, but by a newbie Elder who said a quick pray whilst holding the boy's head as the EMTs performed CPR.

Yet, down in Saint George, two boys who were also struck by lightning and miraculously revived by the teachers of the high school where they were struck.

Yet the lives of these two young men have been very difficult.

A year later, the two are dealing with the repercussions from the day they were struck by lightning. They battle bodies that are forever changed, learning to navigate both their daily lives and the national attention heaped on them.

Alex, now 19, has come to the realization that he is physically disabled — difficult for anyone, but a particularly hard truth for a young man who aspired to military service and now can’t pick up a pen.

Dane, now 17, hasn’t had as many physical repercussions, though he’s struggling to gain weight and strength. But he lost his father three months after the strike, and the spectre of future health problems haunts the fringes of daily life.


Hey God, if you are lurking, sign your ass up and tell us why you helped the boy in the first story, but left these two in such a hard spot?

Well, obviously it's because no teenagers with a bachelor's degree in priestcraft were there to heal the sick in the second case.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
