Which begs the question, what if you were hit by lightning and lived?
The gods hated you, but you were stronger, so it'd be best to stay on your good side.
Fed to the lions for defying god.
I think not.
You gonna mess around with a guy who survived a lightning strike?
'Cause I ain't gonna mess around with no guy who survived a lightning strike.
That feels like grounds for getting some kinda role in the gods temple.
"Zeus personally hit me with a bolt of lightning and let me live. I think I can read a bulls organs, okay?"

Clearly protected by a different god than the smiting god.
One of my favorite one season shows was 'Strange Luck.'
The premise was that a baby was the only survivor of an airliner crash, and ever since then he's been afflicted by an unending series of bizarre coincidences.
At one point he's arrested and pulled into the police station. He's been arrested 153 times, but also has commendation letters from five different governors, the sitting President, and the last Pope.
Sounds like that's either gonna be good for decades of possibilities or run off the rails before the end of the second episode 😄
Guess that answers that! I'm gonna go see if I can find this lunacy 😄

Warning shot. He knows what he did.
