Legal case against God dismissed A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served. The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling. He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction and terrorisation" caused by God. Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a case to proceed. "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice," Judge Polk wrote in his ruling. Mr Chambers cannot refile the suit but may appeal. 'God knows everything' Mr Chambers sued God last year. He said God had threatened him and the people of Nebraska and had inflicted "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants". He said he would carefully consider Judge Polk's ruling before deciding whether to appeal. The court, Mr Chambers said, had acknowledged the existence of God and "a consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God's omniscience". "Since God knows everything," he reasoned, "God has notice of this lawsuit." Mr Chambers, a state senator for 38 years, said he filed the suit to make the point that "anyone can sue anyone else, even God". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7673591.stm
And this guy has been a Senator for 38 years?? Are you f'n kidding me? "Mr Chambers, a state senator for 38 years, said he filed the suit to make the point that "anyone can sue anyone else, even God"." So he's got so much time on his hands that he goes around making crazy law suits just for the heck of it?
Still better than the judge who sued a cleaners for $65 million over a pair of pants. At least this guy was trying to prove a point.

He sued God as a mockery of our legal system. It definitely needs a retooling but that's not going to happen anytime soon. There needs to be a Common Sense Law, but that won't get passed with the idiots in Congress.
this reminds me of the Flying Spaghetti Monster that one came out of a Kansas Board of Ed decision on intelligent design in the classroom
As a senator for that many years, he definitely had a solid grasp of the legal system to file this suit
