MEXICO CITY - Five Mexican children were killed when a large metal cross they were praying at was struck by lightning in central Mexico, local media reported Monday.

Five children between 9 and 16 years old died and several others suffered burns when lightning struck a white-painted metal cross set on a hill in the town of Santa Maria del Rio early on Sunday, according to two newspaper reports.

“The lightning went straight into them and killed them instantly,” local Red Cross chief Eduardo Suarez told the daily El Norte.

Officials in the state of San Luis Potosi were not immediately available to confirm the report, also in the newspaper El Universal.

A photo showed charring on the cross’s turquoise-painted cement base, although the cross was still standing.

Several families had been participating in a midnight ceremony as part of a local religious festival that centers around the cross.

Santa Maria del Rio calls itself the “cradle of the shawl” for the traditional silk shawls that artisans have woven there since pre-Hispanic times.

Proof that god doesn't exist.

whoa... that's particularly ironic.

then again, i'm not too suprised cos metal conducts electricity. they should have used a wooden cross. at least it would the cross would burn...

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I REALLY FIND THIS FUNNY.....EVEN THOUGHT THAT IN AND OF ITSELF IS PRETTY HEARTLESS......BUT OH WELL. I THINK IT'S FUNNY.

**KAZAAP**

I find that funny as well... in a twisted sort of way. I mean what are the odds of that... getting killed while praying?

MAYBE GOD JUST DIDN'T LIKE THESE MEXICAN CHILDREN?

Perhaps you are right. Now if only he would fry some Middle Eastern children next... as I guarantee that a good bunch of them will grow up to be either the future terrorists/suicide bombers of tomarrow, or they'll grow up to be the next batch of donkey loving, women abusing, fucktards. And the absolute last thing this crazy world needs right now (considering it's fucked up enough as it is) IMO... is more donkey rapers. Make sense?

How do you know that? Maybe they were praying to the Mexican goat god and God was pissed so he struck them down. Or maybe God just wanted to be in the headlines..who knows.

god wanted to be in the headlines

SHRUG maybe he just wanted the publicity

LOL Like he doesn't have enough publicity as it is... he has a 2000 page sleeping pill (that's the Bible) that mentions him every 2 sentances.... numerous television worship shows on Sunday, millions of "houses" in the world (that's churches... as most people consider a church to be "God's house") plus a shitload of more stuff, and now this. In my opinion... God is really being an Attention Whore nowadays... he needs to get off his cloud and give some of the spotlight to someone else.

I hate depressing news headlines like this,poor kids...

yeah Nate those poor kids

im not dure if i should agree with this... it sort of sounds like i should...

praying to the goat god!! now that sounds cool!

I now agree with Moelll's statement... it should of been wood. Metal was a stupid idear. The genre rules, but if a cross is made out of it... worst idea ever!

well thats just messed up, looks like there will be no praying for me anymore, not that i ever did

Just agree with me lol... you know you wanna

i can imagine it now...

St. Peter: your Holiness, you know that storm system around Mexico?
God: yeah, what about it?
St. Peter: a couple of kids were struck by lightning and killed when they were praying to you
God: oh crap... whoops

i am thinking that one of them praying at the cross was like "hey god, these people praying with me are assholes, you mind killing them, pretty please with sugar on top?"

OR HE COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS:



"WELL...WERE THEY PRAYING TO ME OR MOM?"


SINCE MOST MEXICANS ARE CATHOLIC AND ALL .

yup thats true. approximately 90% of the Mexican population are Catholics.

i'm considered as a Catholic, but not that observant

Well why don't he kill some paedos or rapists instead of five innocent children who ain't done fuck all?
