    New York man crushed by giant crucifix has leg amputated

    A deeply religious man in upstate New York who believes a church's giant crucifix cured his wife of cancer had his own leg amputated after the same crucifix collapsed on top of him.

    CBS New York reports that the accident occurred when 45-year-old David Jimenez was cleaning the 600-pound crucifix, which was allegedly held up by a single screw. Jimenez has been a frequent visitor to the Church of St. Patrick in Newburgh, N.Y., where he made regular stops to pray for his wife, who is now cancer-free.

    "The screw is useless. It supported no anchoring system," said Jimenez's attorney Kevin Kitson. "David attributed the cure to his devotion to that cross."

    Kitson told the Digital Journal that Jimenez is planning to sue the church for $3 million after losing his leg, because he will not be able to return to his job at a pizza restaurant. The church has reportedly raised about $7,000 for Jimenez's recovery effort so far.

    Kitson said the legal liability should reside with the church for "telling someone to go forward with an action and causing this accident."

    It'd be funny if he wins his lawsuit but his wife's cancer returns.

    I mean...not funny for him or his wife...but it might cause some chuckles around the church.

    Careful.

    One thing God seems not to have, is a sense of humor.

    God doesn't play dice. He does like dominoes however.
