  Most of the time I hit the delete button but this one was pretty funny. My sister is the one that forwarded it to me.

   

         Local Bar Sues Local Church
     
      In a small Texas town, a new bar/tavern started a building to
  open up their business. The local Baptist church started a
  campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and
  prayers.
     
      Work progressed, however right up till the week before
  opening, when a lightning strike hit the bar and it burned to the
  ground.
     
      The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after
  that, 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. The church
  vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the
  buildings demise in its reply to the court.
     
      As the case made its way in to court, the judge looked over
  the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, 'I don't know how I'm
  going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we
  have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an
  entire church congregation that doesn't.'
