If this works, it's as follows:
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." |

Thanks Alba. I read that somewhere else on here. Highly amusing. :o)

I think the congregation were probaly just denying they were legally responsible for the action of their God. The (ex) bar owner is just trying his luck. You never know in the US where folk win claims for all sorts of strange things.

Apparently, bar owners know how to pray as well . . . http://

It was probably a rival bar owner who called down the wrath of god. I'm sure christians wouldn't think of doing such a thing ..ermmm perhaps they would on second thoughts.
