Joke: the paradox

Joke: the paradox
In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel which was right opposite to a church. The church and its congregation started a campaign to block the brothel from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.

Work progressed. But when it was almost complete and about to open a few days later, lightening stuck and burnt the brothel to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug about the incident till the brothel owner sued the church authorities on the grounds that the church, through its congregation and 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 the 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 that we have a brothel owner who believes in the power of prayer and an entire church that doesn't.'
