If the electrons and protons attract in what way is it dangerous for you to stand under a tree when there is lightning?
The fact that electrons and protons attract has little if anything to do with lightning or why it is dangerous. Lightning is a huge burst of stored electric charge. That charge becomes a very high current through the air, but electric current prefers to go through things like water and metal, because it's less resisitive than air. This means that trees are more likely to get hit by lightning (as are other tall objects like churches and buildings). So, standing under one means it is quite possible you will get hit by the lightning too.
