Suing God?


[Note: I am in no way offiliated with the Christian Examiner. I just happened to find this little snippet of "news" humorous.]
From the Christian Examiner, Inland Empire edition, November 2008:

Judge Throws Out Lawsuit Against God
"LINCOLN, Neb. (EP)-A Nebraska judge has dropped a lawsuit against God because there is no way to properly serve Him legal papers. In his ruling, Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk said that under state law a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward. "Given that this court finds that thre can never be service effectuated on the named defendant, this action will be dismissed with prejudice," Polk wrote, according to the AP. State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last year for causing "calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." Chambers filed suit earlier this year in an effort to make the point that everyone deserves access to the American court system whether they are rich or poor and to make a point about frivilous lawsuits. "Since God knws everything, God has notice of this lawsuit," he told The Associated Press. Chambers may appeal."
