Okay, I'm impressed. You win this time, Jesus.
An Argentine evangelical pastor was born again after a book of Psalms he was holding deflected a bullet fired at close range, officials in the western province of Mendoza said.
Mauricio Zanes Condori, 38, was trying to talk two thieves out of robbing his church, located in the town of Rodeo del Medio, about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) west of Buenos Aires, local judicial authorities reported.
One of the thieves aimed his handgun at Zanes Condori's chest and fired at a distance of two meters (about seven feet).
The criminals immediately fled, and churchgoers who were watching in horror as the event unfolded, called for an ambulance.
But the bullet hit the book of Psalms that Zanes Condori was holding to his chest.
A medic who arrived at the scene said the book slowed down the bullet and deflected its trajectory, so in the end it only scratched Zanes Condori's chest.

Okay, I'm impressed. You win this time, Jesus.
