KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (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.

Being consumed in the power of God can be hazardous to your health.

i just thought this was interesting in light of that other lawsuit case we were discussing a few threads back...and also am wondering about the layout of this church. if somebody fell in the methodist church/bomb shelter on campus here they'd break all kinds of things. although it does make one wonder how churches get around those pesky issues of liability.

I wonder when we will see "non-believers" begin suing because of rattlesnake poisoning.
I also wonder if it would be wrong for the public financed ambulance to take it's time getting there, with the thought of "I can't interfere with religious beliefs".

Thanks for the wonderful onset of random thoughts.

Aww, you could have done better.... Like....

How do you get a nun pregnant?
Dress her up like an altar boy.

Besides most churches have padded kneelers these days, I guess that is because most of the professional cock suckers have moved on.  (see that is how it is done)
