    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!!
