Knowing that lightning will strike sooner or later, and that when it does, it will take

the path of least resistance between a thundercloud and the ground, the purpose

of a lightning rod is to make sure that when lightning does happen, it strikes where

you want it to, and takes the path to the ground that you want it to, rather than

taking the path through somebody's house, tree, or body.
