In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel, which was right opposite to a church.
The church & its congregation started a campaign to block the brothel from opening with
petitions and prayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days
later, a strong lightning struck the brothel and it was burnt to the ground.
The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the brothel owner sued the
church authorities on the grounds that the church through its congregation & prayers was
ultimately responsible for the destruction of his brothel, either through direct or indirect
actions or means.
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that
their prayers were reasons for the act of God. 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
brothel owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church that doesn't.'
