New Bar in Town
In a small conservative town, a new bar/tavern started a building
to open up their business. The local Baptist church started a
campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers. Work progressed, however right up till the week before opening, when a lightning strike hit the bar and it burned to the ground.
The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till
the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was
ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either
through direct or indirect actions or means.
The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection
to the buildings demise in its reply to the court.
As the case made it's way into court, the judge looked over the
paperwork at the hearing and commented, "I don't know how I'm going
to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar
owner that believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church
congregation that doesn't.
