Makes ya think....

OK, I ran across this story a while ago, and I can't get it out of my head.

In case you haven't heard, Mel Gibson (a Catholic of somewhat fundy persuasion) is making a movie about the last hours of the life of Jesus Christ. It has been accused, among other things, of having anti-semitic undertones.

Well, get this: Jim Caviezel, the actor cast in the role of Jesus, has been struck by lightning.

While on shoot.

Twice.

As an atheist, this story delights me beyond all words. But I wonder how Gibson the God-fearing Catholic is taking it?
