Nebraska State Senator Sues God. God Responds.
State Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha sued God last September in an effort to stop natural disasters.
The suit asks for a “permanent injunction ordering Defendant to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.”
Chambers says he is doing this to fight laws which would restrict frivolous lawsuits. He says the courts should not stop people from suing anyone, even God. Besides. says Chambers, the defendant has had some horrible offenses:
(He) directly and proximately has caused, inter alia, fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues…”
Never one to shrink from a fight the Almighty responded when a one-page document marked “Special Appearance showed up at the Douglas County Courthouse.
“It was on the counter in legal filing yesterday,” Gordon Rieber in the Clerk of the District Court’s office told Omaha’s Action 3 News. “No one saw it come in. She (an employee) turned her back and there it was.”
In the paper, “God” says the suit by Sen. Ernie Chambers (D-Omaha) should be thrown out because there was “[n]o proper and sufficient service of summons” by a deputy.
And although He doesn’t issue “terroristic threats,” as Chambers had claimed in his lawsuit, “God” wrote that the senator would receive an “appropriate punishment.”
Now, the case is in court, awaiting a judge’s final decision.

Sure, it’s a waste of time, but, by the very description of god, he’s actually guilty, but that’s true for the good things in life as well. I sentence god to probation.

So Chambers files a frivolous lawsuit in order to fight laws restricting frivolous lawsuits?
That’s like shooting a bunch of people at random because you’re opposed to gun control laws–and in this case the shooter is Chambers and the target is his own foot.

George Bush once said, “I feel like God wants me to run for president. I can’t explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me.”
Can we sue God for this horrible April fools joke???

EXCELLENT comment, TDro. Gets one thinking…

Apparently God and Bush had a talk regarding the Iraq war as well. He asked if he spoke to “his father” about this decision, his response was, “I spoke to a higher Father”.
So God told him to bomb a country that posed no threat to us and murder thousands of innocent civilians and US troops?
