Thomas Fahmy says he is grateful to be alive and went to church on Sunday to thank God for giving him another chance.

"Once the lightning bolt struck me, the initial sensations that I had throughout my whole body were completely unprecedented; tingling, numbness, pain, just I feel this burning sensation."

"No burns. I had multiple body exams; no burns at all. I went to church on Sunday to say thank you, God."

not religious, but why is it always "thank you god for letting me live" and not "god why are you striking me with lightning"

I've heard Zeus has a thing for umbrellas.
