The old boy Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod, and it uses a spark
gap to ground.
I over ground from my FAA training. Under the 6 foot concrete cube for my
tower is 10 foot copper
rod with welded ground cable that goes 30 feet up the tower to a large
ground clamp, for one.
Both of my neighbors have have trees hit by lightning, but my ten acre
antenna farm with
full size 160 meter loop and dipole have not been hit yet.

Question:
By grounding your antenna do you make it more attractive to a lightning
strike?
