I don't find much (things?; this is starting to sound like a sentence fragment) offensive, ring, save for incongruencies and/or omissions, so I just state what's on my mind, neither as a high-above-all snide remark, nor as something for my own personal enjoyment. I just try to fill in the voids as quietly as possible.

And if it needs to be said, no, I do not find Jesus jokes offensive; I don't find Muhammad jokes offensive; I do not find Obama or Tom & Jerry or Mark Twain jokes offensive either, if you were randomly wondering. What bugs me is that I might be promoted to pitch in with the shenanigans even though it can be contradictory to the morals and ideals held by others. So, unless you are building some hypothetical story around me, though, with no real merit as to why and how it is actually relevant to what I've put forth, then do I find it somewhat compulsory to call out a bit.

What did they expect to happen?
Well, it's not first time a Jesus icon has been struck by lightning, and I doubt it shall be the last.

Named one of the modern Wonders of the World in 2007, the statue which is the largest one of Christ and can be seen for miles appeared unscathed from the miraculous bolt.
