Ok I get it I forgot the windpipe and arteries don't qualify as organs.
what are they collectively known as?

btw, the largest organ in the human body is the skin. Is that cool, or what?
That aside... :)
OK, the parts of the body affected weren't the aspect that caught my attention.
Maybe I should have been more specific in my "no comment."
A statue falls and happens to hurt an attacker of the church.
My comment is...
And...
Why is this important?

How often does a thief get stabbed by the statue he's trying to steal?
If this isn't Divine Justice the comedy remains divine.

How often does a specific person win the Mega-Millions lottery?
It is rare, but it does happen.
Trying to ascribe rare-occurring events to religious merely diminishes the credibility of what religion espouses.

#5 Tor is a Magical Thinker when it comes to religion. Like he really believes invisible forces are at work.

Magical thinking makes wonderful things happen. Granted it can also get people killed. Steve Jobs is a great example of both same as Jim Henson and gandhi.

Please, do not bring the Muppets into your argument.
Really.
Some things are sacred.

Hey I'm a Mac User I'm all about sacrilege tonight. ;)
Don't forget I did specify that if this isn't Divine Justice the comedy is divine.

Most of which is dead and we find it all over the house as "dust".
Like he really believes invisible forces are at work.

In his defense I too believe in invisible forces.
Air is invisible. And can be pretty forceful. And I believe in it!
Also there is the quantum world. Completely invisible yet from it springs everything we can see. And I believe there is something there even though we can't see it.
Then there are bacteria. Without which we wouldn't be able to survive. I believe in my bacteria. I can only hope it believes in me. And shall we discuss "dark matter"? Which apparently makes up 80% of the universe yet we have no way of seeing feeling or touching it. So I believe in invisible forces. I even believe in higher powers. Because obviously I can see and feel the sun. Which is a much higher power than anything within a few light years. As far as we know.

They're due indeed exist Universal laws that we cannot see things like gravity and magnetism.
It's worth pointing out that the burglar encountered the business end of gravity LOL

And of course I didn't even mention Love.
One of the most powerful yet invisible forces in our world and perhaps the universe.

"And of course I didn't even mention Love." Love is selfish unless you love everyone the same.

True love is unconditional.

Love is blinding.

Would have been super ironic if the statue had been of Damocles.

Donnerboy, while your argument for the 'invisible' is a common one, it makes a common mistake.
Air, IS visible in certain conditions, fog, mist, really cold weather, etc... but more to the point 'it is measurable'. The quantum world? Measurable. Bacteria, both visible and measurable. Dark Matter, still up for debate on whether or not it is even real, or just conceptual. Even love, is measurable, increased heart rate, increased sweating, pupil dilation etc...
You certainly can BELIEVE in whatever 'higher powers' you wish to. But belief in a thing, does not necessarily make it 'true'.
The problem with notions of a God, is that he/she/or it, is neither visible, nor quantifiable (measurable). Unlike the list of 'invisible items' you listed above.

"You certainly can BELIEVE in whatever 'higher powers' you wish to. But belief in a thing, does not necessarily make it 'true'."
We humans think we know so much now. But we really don't. 80 % of the universe is completely unknown to us. We infere the existence of dark matter and dark energy by its gravitational effects on the normal matter. We don't even know how life began or even under your own consciousness.
And I never said anything about a god. But it's obvious the sun is powerful. More powerful than anything. And even the earth itself can open up and swallow me at any second. (I live in earthquake country) and Volcanoes are super powerful. They can change everything in an instant. So there are obviously higher powers than man.
I don't have to believe in a higher power for one to exist. If I don't pay close attention I could be disappeared from this earth in an instant. Even if I do pay attention my days are numbered. And their is nothing I can do about it.
If there is a higher I don't need to believe in it. Not believing in higher powers has been the doom of many a man and woman. But I know there are higher powers. I can see them with my own eyes even. But I no one knows if there is a god. But I can only hope that that if there is a god behind it all that it believes in me!
Oh and you cannot see air. The molecules are much too small. All you can see is things that are floating on or in the air. Can we "see" molecules yet? And bacteria are only visible with a microscope. It's gonna be a while before we can "see" our thoughts or find our consciousness. And maybe someday if we don't destroy ourselves we may find that there was something behind it all. Maybe a god. Maybe it's all just random chance. Regardless we are pretty lucky to find ourselves in a universe as suited for life as this one! I feel thanking someone or something for that!
