According to "the internet", having a lightning rod won't increase the chance your house is hit (which would kind of spoil the point of it).

I'm not exactly sure I buy it. I would think that having a low resistance path to ground WOULD increase the likelihood of getting your house struck, but then having the grounded rod would make the strike less destructive and dangerous.

So it would seem they're a double edged sword? Or what?
