Bar Sues Church
In a small Texas town, (Mt. Vernon) Drummond's bar began construction
on a new building to increase their business.
With petitions and prayers, the local Baptist church started a
campaign to block the bar from opening.
Work progressed right up until the week before opening, when lightning
struck the bar and it burned to the ground.
The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until
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 building's demise in its reply to the court.
As the case made its way into 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 does not.
Very FUNNY! I love the Atheists for they believe in the power of NATURE while some believers are uncertain or doubtful whether their prayers will be answered or not.
