A Judge's Dilemma
In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel, which was rightopposite to a church. The church & its congregation started a campaign toblock the brothel from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to opena few days later, a strong lightning struck the brothel and it was burnt tothe ground.
The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till thebrothel owner sued the church authorities on the grounds that the churchthrough 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 responsibilityor 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 atthe 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 andwe have an entire church that doesn't."
