A church in a traditionally teetotal area prays against a new bar opening up next door. The Bar gets struck down by lightning and sues the church next door who had prayed that God would close the bar. The church denies all responsibility and connection to the bars destruction.
The judge reads the plaintiff’s complaint and the defendant’s reply at the opening hearing and said, “I don’t know how I’m going to decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an church congregation that doesn’t.
