Wrath of God Blamed for Fire at Palin's Church

Gov. Sarah Palin's home church was badly damaged by the wrath of God, leading the governor to apologize if the fire was connected to "undeserved negative attention" from her failed vice presidential campaign.

Damage to the Wasilla Bible Church was estimated at $1 million.  Only a handful of people were inside at the time of the smiting, but everyone escaped without injury.

Members of the Wasilla Bible Church gathered in prayer Saturday to understand God's will in damaging the church. "It's hard to say at this point. Everything is just speculation," said one worshiper, who asked not to be named out of fear of divine retribution. "We have no information on God's intent or motive."

Authorities could only speculate as to the cause of the fire. "It might have been lightning bolts, but we're not sure," said a Central Mat-su Fire District spokesperson. "So far, we have only been able to rule out some of the most common plagues like locust, blood and frogs."

Palin spokesman, Bill McAllister, said in a statement that Palin had told an assistant pastor she was sorry if the smiting was in any way connected with her very un-christian vice presidential campaign of divisiveness, lies and racism.
