A deeply religious New York man who believes a church's giant crucifix cured his wife of cancer had his own leg amputated after the same crucifix collapsed on top of him.

CBS New York reports that the accident occurred when 45-year-old David Jimenez was cleaning the 600-pound-crucifix, which was allegedly held up by a single screw. Jimenez has been a frequent visitor to the Church of St. Patrick, where he made regular stops to pray for his wife, who is now cancer free.

"The screw is useless. It supported no anchoring system," said Jimenez's attorney Kevin Kitson said. "David attributed the cure to his devotion to that cross."

Kitson told the Digital Journal Jimenez is planning to sue the church for $3 million after losing his leg, which will prevent him from returning to his job at a pizza restaurant. The church has reportedly raised about $7,000 for Jimenez's recovery effort so far.

Kitson said the legal liability should reside with the church for, "telling someone to go forward with an action and causing this accident."

So deeply religious, believes the crucifix cured his wife of cancer but is now suing church because that same miracle object killed his leg.

Clearly God meant for his leg to be amputated so he could sue the church and get paid lots of money. Mysterious ways.

The pins in Ed's leg are bigger than Christ's crucifixion spikes anyway.

That is my cross to bear.

Jesus walks into a hotel, puts three nails on the reception desk and says, "Can you put me up for the night?"

God always comes out even. Wife cancer for you leg. Doesn't it seem fair?

Actually, it's a bargain.  I'd expect it to cost an arm and a leg, but it only cost him a leg.
