Absolutely. You should read up on the History of Benjamin Franklins Lightning Rods and the opposition they aroused among the religious.

The common religious belief before Franklin was that lightening was controled by Satan who was the Prince of the Powers of the Air. Funny stuff.

Churches that have steeples show lack of knowledge.
Steeples are not just pagan, but on the gross side of paganism.

That is a quote by Doug McLeod. And if you aren't going to have a lightning rod, why wear seat belts, or use condoms.....God will take care of you.

If a church puts a lightening rod on the top that's about the same as a person buying a life insurance policy.
They are acknowledging that God controls our destiny, but that He also gave us a brain and common sense so that we could make preparations for whatever life throws our way.

No. God says that the rain comes on the good and the evil. Lightening is the same.

I do not agree with your contentions. That is only a design made by the architect.

Yes - they know deep down that there is no God to protect the church.
