TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES LOCAL CHURCH OVER LIGHTNING STRIKE!
>
> A bar called Drummond's (in Mt Vernon, Texas ) began construction on
> an expansion of their building, hoping to "grow" their business.
> In response, the local Southern Baptist Church started a campaign to
> block the bar from expanding - petitions, prayers, etc.
> About a week before the bar's grand re-opening, a bolt of lightning
> struck the bar and burned it to the ground!
> Afterward, the church folks were rather smug - bragging about "the
> power of prayer".
> The angry bar owner eventually sued the church on grounds that the
> church... "Was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building,
> through direct actions or indirect means."
> Of course, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any
> connection to the building's demise.
> The judge read carefully through the plaintiff's complaint and the
> defendant's reply.
> He then opened the hearing by saying:
>
> "I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the
> paperwork that what we have here is a bar owner who now believes in
> the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not."
>
> True story!!
