Do Lightning Rods Attract Lightning?

We had them installed. Lots of ugly rods - you see homes in TV with them.. unsightly. We took a lightning strike. It ignored the rods and came in the bathroom and hit our wall tile, that was a metallic gold color, and travelled across the room to the plumbing.

All the rods did was cause roof leaks.
Like most things. It can be done right or not.
