In a small town in India, a person decided to open up his bar shop, which
was right opposite a temple.
The temple & its congregation started a campaign to block the bar
from opening with petitions, and prayed daily against his business.
Meanwhile work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and about to
open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the bar and it was burnt to
the ground.
*
*The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the bar
owner sued the temple authorities on the grounds that the temple
through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsible for the demise
of his bar shop, either through their direct or indirect actions or means.
*
*In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all responsibility
or any connection that their prayers were reasons for the bar shop's demise.
*
*As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at
the hearing and commented: I don't know how I'm going to decide this case,
but it appears from the paperwork,*
* 'we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an
entire temple and its devotees that don't.'
