An atheist resident on a small island in the Highlands of Scotland, obtained planning permission to build a pub next door to the Presbyterian church.
This enraged the congregation, so every evening they gathered to pray that the good Lord in His wisdom and mercy would never permit the pub to open.
The night before the grand opening, the pub was struck by a bolt of lightning and burned to the ground.
The owner of the bar sued the congregation, claiming the disaster was caused as a direct consequence of their prayers.
The members of the church denied any responsibility.
In court, the sheriff summed up for the jury:
"It’s a very unusual case. It concerns an atheist, who believes in the power of prayer, and the members of a church congregation, who don’t."
