As a child the nuns told us that the punishment for blasphemy was a bolt of lightning. You wouldn't even get a chance to hear the thunder. One second you're flesh and blood. The next you're charred to the bone like a steak left on the BBQ grill overnight. While I may be a non-believer, I am still careful about what I say about gods. They can be very vengeful.
A Singapore retailer earned the wrath of the local Christian community for producing a line of cosmetics named Lookin' Good for Jesus. The faithful claimed this crass commercialism portrayed their Savior flanked by two adoring women on the US-based company's hand cream and lip balm products.
The furor caused the retailer to withdraw the merchandise, although not before a lightning bolt struck the world's tallest Jesus Statue in Rio.
Bad aim?
I would take it as a warning.
You don't mess with gods.
Especially Thor. The Norse god is more accurate with lightning than an Exocet missile.
Crackle and burn.
