On The Lighter Side

A tale is told about a small town that had historically been "dry,"
until a local businessman decided to build a tavern.
A group of Christians from a local church were concerned and planned an
all-night prayer meeting to ask God to intervene. It just so happened
that shortly thereafter lightning struck the bar and it burned to the
ground.
The owner of the bar sued the church, claiming that the prayers of the
congregation were responsible, but the church hired a lawyer to argue in
court that they were not responsible.
The presiding judge, after his initial review of the case, stated that
"no matter how this case comes out, one thing is clear. The tavern owner
believes in prayer and the Christians do not."
