At least 13 devotees have been killed by lightning outside a mosque
in northeastern Bangladesh. Local police chief Bayes Ahmed says 20 other people were injured by
the lightning late Friday in Sylhet district. The victims were struck by
the lightning as they were exiting the mosque following special prayers
tied to the holy month of Ramadan. (AP)
One one of the dead is the imam who gave the sermon.

Thanks. The irony of the circumstances cannot be ignored. I would have posted it if it were Christians or Jews or Buddhists. Death is sad but for 33 people to be blasted by lightening outside a religious building after giving "special" prayers is just too rich to pass up.
And I was serious above. If I had just left my church and this happened I would be doin some very serious self reflection. I mean, c'mon. If you believe in an all seeing and all powerful almighty and your congregation gets wasted by blasts of lightening after a sermon shouldnt that be construed as some kind of message?
