Not kidding.

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.

I refuse to laugh at the unfortunate deaths of innocent children.

It's too bad they weren't older, and total assholes, then I'd be rolling.

I guess you can't blame god for that if you believe in him. That would fall under the free will clause. A large metal construct at the top of a hill?

But it's closer to God..

All because Little Juanny wouldn't stop touching himself.

Next thing you know they'll be doing a study and claim that praying is a leading cause of death in children.

With a population of 9,598 in Santa Maria del Rio, the death of five could eventually influence statistics
