BAR SUES CHURCH

TEXAS
Bar Sues Church
In
a small Texas town (Mt. Vernon), Drummon's Bar began construction on a new building
to help increase their business. The
local Methodist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening, calling
for petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up till the week before opening
when lightning struck the new 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 fate 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
arguments. At the hearing he commented, "I honestly don't know how I'm
going to decide this. From the paperwork I just read, it seems we have
a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and an entire church
congregation that does not."
