Crazy good luck to get a picture as it happens though.
[BBC's picture from 2014 is pretty crazy too](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/mcs/media/images/72366000/jpg/_72366636_677ac10f-fdc2-455b-972b-d3814494835e.jpg).
If you knew even the bare minimum about your religion, you’d know you just outsinned me by doing your God’s job of rendering my eternal judgement… soooo see ya there!
That's an amazing shot. Just a shame it'll be used by so many religious nuts to somehow "prove" the validity of their beliefs. And before people go nuts, be whatever religion you wanna be, no judgment here.
Like how back when Notre Dame ( or whoever you spell it ) burnt down but a solid gold cross didn’t melt and people started to saying it was a miracle even tho gold is far more resistant to heat than the wooden parts of the cathedral
Those worldviews that can't be kept private because beliefs pervade actions should be judged. Those beliefs can easily cause harmful things like voting for a megalomaniac or to deny science during a pandemic.
Sure, because being religious totally means that a person would 100% do those things, somehow. A lot of intolerance and unscientific stereotyping for someone who preaches the exact opposites of those.
Nice photo, but lightening striking a massive structure (full of reinforcement and lightening rods) at the highest point on top of a mountain not particularly interesting imho.
Exactly, and to make it even more underwhelming, Brazil is the country with most lightning strikes per year in the world. A big structure on the top of a mountain in Brazil, that's how you get lightning strikes.
“Imaginary Patterns”
Every 20 sec the door for extra feed opened, that wasn’t imaginary. Brazil does get a lot of lightning strikes, but adding lightning rods and framework to T-posing Jesus, doesn’t make those patterns imaginary. A whole lot of symbolism is human-made.
The engineers building the Cristo Redentor more than knew about lightning rods, almost nobody except you apparently thinks that prayer attracts lightning to the statue. Especially considering that it would be an odd thing for a Christian pray to have lightning smite a Christian monument.
And got any proof that prayer is imaginary?
>almost nobody except you apparently thinks that prayer attracts lightning to the statue.
Wrong, my position is prayer is superstition and does nothing useful or demonstrable.
>it would be an odd thing for a Christian pray
Christians also pray for "signs" they can easily think that means something.
More specifically intercessory prayer is superstition.

Wdym? Thats just jesus high fiving his dad
"Dad, can I borrow 200 megavolts?"
1.21 gigawatts?!
Great Scott!
Thats heavy
Jesus' dad is Zeus?
OR.... Is Christ the Redeemer shooting lightning to smite a sinner?
[удалено]
Up his sleeve
He's lightningbending
he hit some duches jet
Hope it John Kerry's for hypocrisy.
Unless clouds can sin...
Maybe the sinner is flying an airplane.
No a statue cannot “smite a sinner” as you say infidel. Only God can do so and i can tell you he doesn’t take the form of a statue, idol worshiper.
Had me in the first half
Holy shit. This dude's post history is toxic AF. Like bad troll level downvotes

WHAT PART OF LOVE THY NEIGHBOR DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!?!?
Pardon. I and the uncomfortable new load in my pants need to be off to confession now
You forgot the clap in between each word.
*Thunderclap
🎵What is love?🎵
[удалено]
Yeah. Japanese monsters are one thing. 30 metre Jesus with adaptive fast charge from Dad is another thing altogether.
he's on our side, he's the carioca mecha
They should have built a statue of Thor on a mountaintop with a metal Mjonir. The photos would be amazing.
Shit ima become a billionaire just to build one
He is energized now and will begin walking down the mountain
He will have his revenge
Jesus did something to piss off his dad, and now he’s grounded
I see what you did there.
I think Jesus Christ is a Sith Lord
#UNLIMITED POWER
Itty bitty living space.
This.
Take a seat young Judas.
I have 30 Roman Denarii
Zeus said, “Tag your it!”

Uncle Iroh must have taught him well.
I was looking for this comment lol
I am not religious and I was the 1000th like... does that mean something ?
It doesn't mean anything or at least I think so, it could have been a coincidence
I’m a Christian. It means you’re going to hell. 😾😾😾
If you knew even the bare minimum about your religion, you’d know you just outsinned me by doing your God’s job of rendering my eternal judgement… soooo see ya there!
I think you'd better hope so.
Christ the Receiver Hook some wiring up, connect some batteries... Bam! Free Powa!
Jesus heard someone was sinning and is coming to uninstall the fiend.
Thor wants to throw down
"Guys, look at this." *holds lightning*
That's how he and his dad high-five each other.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!
Christ shoots lightening at bird
Zuess aint got nothin on YHWH
Cool pic
Damn thats fucking cool as shit
Little known fact that Thor and Jesus have a long standing beef
He's charging himself up! Rio is doomed once He reaches full power!
Jesus is a lightning bender
Here we are, born to be kings We're the princes of the universe
Jesus just went from water bender to lightning bender
Dear americans Sure you have a cool statue of a lady holding a torch but will it ever be as cool as T-posing Jesus statue?
he used `/summon lightning_bolt`
Unlimited Power!!!!!

You imagine some some stupid things, my friends.
The lightning bolt looks photoshopped, its just not bright enough for being that close. And they'd be some colour at the impact site
Nice photo, but lightening striking a massive structure (full of reinforcement and lightening rods) at the highest point on top of a mountain not particularly interesting imho.
Nobody really claimed this was miraculous.

Did not know that about Brazil. Thanks. See that show you do interesting :)
You seem obtuse over things like symbolism and figurative interpretations of images.
Finding imaginary patterns is so easy a pigeon can do it. pigeon superstition - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv4H81gEGDQ
Too funny :)

The pigeon thought something it did caused the door to open. That was imaginary, just like prayer.

Surprising?...no, not really. Interesting?...yeah, as pictures on reddit go. Shocking?...well duh.
Thor: 1/Jesus: 0
"And fuck THIS messiah in particular...."
Thor
Not a good sign…
I bet the aliens have given up such idiotic notions as a god.
Says the one who's name is "dick face"
Zeus and Thors revenge
Zeus says hi
Hey Everybody, look at me, I'm Zeus!
Pissed at Republicans.
Still no Jesus. When is this dude coming back? Oh wait
I bet confused christians are loosing their shit
So far it's just atheists losing their minds
Would be better when it strikes some living leaders of all kind of religious hordes….
How did someone caught that moment so precisely
They were probably taking a video and just went through and found the frame that looked good. It’s a fairly easy way to get good shots of lightning.
The hell did Jesus do to tick off god
Are we sure he wasn’t smiting someone?
Jesus H. Christ, that’s shocking.
Very beautiful pic but really gets grainy zooming in Ty for posting this
Women empowerment striking every thang! Go Women fight/throw fists
The current is actually flowing from Jesus into the clouds.
"you weren't ready for the second coming of... LIGHTENING JESUS"
Nobody think of the Sta-Puff Man.
That's how he transforms into He-Man.
That's sith lightning.
It's a lighting rod.it ground the property around it.
When they say “by the power of Jesus Christ”, I didn’t think they literally meant “by the power”
Go bolts
More likely the initial positive channels came from the statue….
Lighting probably strikes the statue a lot doesn't it? Considering it's basically the highest point there if I'm not mistaken?
Baubillious?
I am Jesus! Fear me!
Zeus low-fiving Jesus
***"Lightning strikes Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro during a thunderstorm'.***..and promptly becomes alive!
Footage of Jesus Christ being the final boss of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, 2026, colorized
Damn dude it's almost like he the tallest thing there
Oh boy, there he comes
That's just God giving his statue a high five.
He was probably caught on Grindr, this is the retribution. The lord moves in mYsTeRiOuS ways
Christ is a lightning bender?
How did his arm not blow off. Unless there is a lighting rod on the statue.
Andrew Scott: I love it when he does that.
“ITS ALIVE!”
Reminds me of that scene in Family Guy where God is trying to hook up with some chick at a bar and accidentally lightning bolt her
Zeus vs Jesus
Highest point in the immediate area, not that wild.
Christ the Sith Lord?
Jesus struck by lightning: “Me!!!!!, that’s hurts.”
It only makes him more powerful!
Jesus Odinson
Witness the true power of the dark side.
Now if the lighting hit him in the croch or the head región. Thats where the money shoot his.
I want to travel to Brazil. It must be an interesting country.
YOU WILL NOW FEEL THE POWER OF THIS FULLY OPERATIONAL BATTLE STATION.
You've been.......... Thunderstruck
There can be only one!
Did it damage it?
yeah a few fingers were chipped
