In a small town, a guy decided to open a Pub, right opposite a Church. The church priest & its congregation campaigned to block the opening of the pub with petitions and daily prayers against this business.
Work however continued to progress. When it was almost complete and was about to open, a powerful thunderbolt of lightning struck the pub building and it was burnt to the ground.
The church people were smug about his disaster. The pub owner sued the church authorities saying that the prayers of the church people were directly responsible for the destruction of the premises.
In its response to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility and any connection that their prayers were the reason for the pub owners loss.
Having looked over the paperwork at the hearing the Judge commented : "I don't know how I'm going to decide on this case, it appears we have a pub owner who believes in the power of prayer, and we have an entire church that does not."
