Clara Jean Brown of Baldwin, Alabama was at home praying that her family would be safe from a storm raging outside. Alas,
How much sin does it take for God to answer your prayers with a hearty Burn the Witch?... while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured.
She said ‘Amen’ and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.
Religion is a hell of a racket. God up and punched this woman in the face and she feels blessed by it. And to answer a science question: The power of prayer? Roughly 1,000,000,000 volts.
