In a small Texas town, a new bar/tavern started in 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 its way in to court, the judge looked over the
paperwork. At the hearing he commented, 'I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that doesn't.'
