Lawsuit against "God" dismissed.

[Falco Girgis]

I was sitting at work, and I seriously laughed out loud when I read this:

OMAHA, Neb. -- Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers may continue his legal battle with the Almighty.

A Douglas County District Court judge on Tuesday tossed out Chambers' lawsuit against God. But the senator from Omaha said he may appeal the decision.

Judge Marlon Polk said Chambers can't sue God if he can't serve papers on him.

Chambers filed the lawsuit in September 2007. It sought a permanent injunction to prevent God from committing acts of violence such as tornadoes and earthquakes.

Chambers has said he's trying to make a point that anybody can sue anybody and that laws shouldn't restrict so-called frivolous lawsuits.

Chambers said state senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the filing of certain types of suits. He said his main objective is that the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all.

"Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody -- even God," Chambers said in 2007.

The lawsuit accuses God "of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent." It says God has caused "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like."

He disagreed with the judge's order, saying that since God knows everything God had notice of the lawsuit.

Chambers has 30 days to decide whether to appeal the decision.

lmao, that's the most awesome thing I've seen all week.

[MarauderIIC]

Haha, that last part is awesome. So will the judge be forced to rule in favor of the plaintiff if the defendant doesn't show up for court? And if so, how will they go about collection?

[cypher1554R]

This is REALLY interesting. You know why? It's a mega-face-off..

Think of the possible outcomes..
-If they appeal to the lawsuit, the law is a joke.
-If they dismiss the lawsuit, then God is a joke.

And those 2 sentences are exactly the same length.. xD

:P

[Kleithap]

ROFL, this is beautiful.

So much for the separation of Church and State. Did anyone else notice the alliteration with the disaster list?

fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts

Lol, thanks for brightening up my fine Sunday morning Falco.

There was some movie made a wile back I dont remember what it was called but it was about a guy who sued God because a bolt of lightning struck is boat/home and demolished it. It was funny because the Catholic church ended up being there to "speak" in God's behalf. Man I really wish I could remember what it was called.

[eatcomics]

my mother is a doctor and she pays about 10k dollars a MONTH, (some doctors have to pay about 30k)
all because of fucking "you can sue anyone for anything"
