Associated Press, 25-05-93, ELLICOTT, Md - SCULPTURE KILLS BOY, 4
A four-year-old boy was killed when a small statue of the Virgin
Mary fell on him.
Cooper Williams was playing on the 60-cm-tall (24-inch) statue at
the Our Lady Centre on Tuesday when he lost his balance, grabbed at
the statue as he fell and pulled it down on him, police said.
The child was struck in the head and pronounced dead at a hospital.
The boy's grandmother works as a manager at the centre, a spiritual
retreat in suburban Baltimore where worshipers pay homage to the
Virgin Mary."
Now you have to wonder why the Xtians don't key on this as a "sign."
Every time the pizza dough makes a bearded face people flock from
thousands of miles, every time a Madonna weaps millions crawl across
broken glass. A kid gets killed by a Madonna and it's a "terrible
accident."
Just an example of how easy it is to come up with proof for your
theories if you only ignore everything you don't like.
This whole "praise God" "curse Satan" bit drives me mad anyway. If
anything good happens "I just want to thank the Lord" and if anything
bad happens "I was Drawn! Aside! by Satan!" Kiss my hairy butt -
what ever happened to freewill? Sounds like a great excuse to be
an irresponsible pompous-ass if you ask me (and even if you don't.)
