TEXAS
BEER JOINT SUES CHURCH over LIGHTNING STRIKE!
ONLY IN TEXAS ... Texas
Beer Joint Sues Church MT.Vernon, Texas Drummond's Bar began
construction on an expansion of their building to increase
their business. In
response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block
the bar from expanding with petitions and prayers. Work
progressed right up until the week before the grand reopening
when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground! After
the bar burning to the ground by the lightning strike, the
church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about
"the power of prayer", until the bar owner sued the church on
the grounds that the church ... "was ultimately responsible
for the demise of his building, either through direct or
indirect actions or means." In
its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all
responsibility or any connection to the building's demise. The
judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the
defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I
don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from
the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power
of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does
not." Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org |
