God Smites a Filthy Thief With a Saint’s Statue
I’ve been taking a bit of a breather from the Interweb – pretty good timing actually when you consider this is the top story – and getting out a bit more and had the joy of visiting nature in art, which is a gallery in Gloucestershire. I’m not really the ‘arty’ type but if you get the chance to visit, do so, it was fantastic.
Anyway, as regular readers will know, I have deviant sense of humour and I’m going to reproduce Dr Jim West’s blog post in full, as it had me laughing my socks off:
God Smites a Filthy Thief With a Saint’s Statue
As Antonio points out,
A thief who tried to break open the donation box in a church was hit on the head by a falling statue of a saint, police in Munich reported on Sunday. The man suffered a nasty cut to the head and fled the St Benno Church without the donation box, said Ludwig Sperrer, the church’s priest. He said it seemed that the near-life-size statue of Saint Antonius had fallen from its wooden plinth as the would-be thief was trying to break open the donation box which was situated in the same wooden structure. “He obviously did not want to let it go,” said Sperrer with a grin. But the thief was obviously not convinced to change his ways by the falling saint – he went to a nearby house to ask for help with his bleeding head and his lady accomplice stole a wallet left lying on a counter.
Good for God. Now if he would just smite the rest of the totally depraved thieves, molesters, and murderers as well as politicians, lawyers, and neer-do-wells the world might learn a lesson.
“Good for God“
