Divine lightning reaction?

A Chinese man who swore to God that he didn't owe money to a neighbour was hit by lightning a minute later.

The man, named Xu, made the oath in front of a crowd of neighbours in Fuqing city, reports Southeast Express.

He vowed that he had never borrowed money from Mr Huang, who claimed Xu borrowed 500 yuan, the equivalent of £40, from him three years earlier.

"He borrowed 500 yuan three years ago from me for a friend's marriage gift, but he has denied it ever since then," said Huang, who went to Xu's home to demand payment.

"I told him that if he dared to swear to God that he didn't owe me the money, then I would waive his debt," said Huang.

Xu made the oath, but was suddenly struck by lightning a minute later.

He was immediately taken to hospital where doctors confirmed he had been hit by lightning. He is expected to make a full recovery.

And the moral to this story? You don't ever swear to God in Fuquing China!

If this happened more often I might be inclined to pay more attention to religion..

But Chinese people don't believe in the Christian fairy tale god.

So it seems their God strikes down people with lightening if they tell a fib.

The government doesn't acknowledge God and many Chinese risk their lives just to practice their faith

There are Christians in China.

They'll probably always be an atheist state, but maybe they will have a bit more religious freedom soon.

Small minded quote of the day.
