Man falls down during prayer and sues his church over this Act of God
There really is one born – or born again – every minute:
KNOXVILLE, TN (AP) — A man says he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while worshipping. Now he wants Lakewind Church to pay $2.5 million for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. The 57-year-old has had two surgeries since the June 2007 injury but still feels pain in his back and legs. He says he was asking God to have “a real experience” while praying.
Well, I suppose he really got what he prayed for, so I don’t understand why he is suing his church.
There’s that old saying that warns people to be careful what they wish for, because their prayers may be answered. So, it’s hard to commiserate with anyone who asks God for a sign and then gets hit by a bolt of lightning.
Anyway, people who know their Bible should be careful asking God stuff. I mean, He proclaimed the Jews to be His chosen people and see where that got them…
Which reminds me of a short and silly poem dealing with that fact. That of being God’s Chosen, I mean; not some idiot falling down while praying.
So, let’s close with that old poem and leave our suing head case to the tender mercies of his God – and that of his church’s lawyers, of course:
FIRST THING THEY DO
First thing they do
is cut up your dick.
Then they tell you:
don’t eat this and that.
They take you to a desert,
you had no wish to visit in the first place.
‘The Promised Land’, they say,
of bombs and snipers.
And everybody hates you
(and you can’t stop bickering
about the cost of living
and the price of milk and honey.)
The Chosen, yes, no doubt -
but one thing you know for sure:
Next time you see a burning bush,
you’ll piss it out.
