From several news sources. Click on the title of this post to find one.

A Chinese man who swore to God that he didn't owe money to a neighbor was hit by lightning a minute later.

The man held an iron bar over his head and said that if he owed his friend money, God would punish him. Almost immediately, he was struck by lightning.

The man was taken to a hospital. His injuries are not serious.

The friend claims he was owed a little more than $73.
