Not my side of the family
Despite being fairly involved with the local church, none of my family is particularly religious. My wife's family, on the other hand, does contain the odd fervent god botherer. Chief amongst these is my mother in law. Her faith took a bit of a knock a few years ago though. It was her turn to do a bit of cleaning in the church, so she was busy with the tin of polish and cloth, giving the altar a good old clean when she heard something snap above her. She looked up in time to see the massive cross behind the altar fall off the wall, hit the ground, then tilt forward, knocking her over and pinning her to the floor by her ankle, which broke it (the ankle, not the cross) rather badly. I have to admit that when I was told of the incident I couldn't stop laughing but I managed to refrain from asking if she'd heard a crack of thunder and a disembodied voice bellow "damn, missed!" when it happened.
