Senator Sues God
Charging God with crimes and the subsequent philosophy is a subject that pops up occasionally in literature. However, fiction turned reality last Friday when Nebraska state Senator Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit against God. The suit itself seeks an injunction to case all harmful activities such as "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like." Furthermore, the suit cites God for causing "calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children, the aged and infirm without mercy or distinction."

He likely only wants the court to recognize God by Anonymous
No spineless politician or jurist is likely to throw the case out on the basis that there is no God. So there will be a tacit recognition of God, which is probably all that Chambers wants anyway. Just like the case of Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street.

lawsuit abuse? by jandaman
according to sen. chambers, this suit has absolutley nothing to do with GOD or natural disasters, but instead with tort reform…
sen. chambers’ position is that new bills are running through their state senate that would limit law suits…chambers does not believe this is constitutionally legal and is hoping to take this case all the way to the supreme court…the only basis of the case is that he believes people should be able to sue anybody for anything and that the government should not interfere with that right…
On a related note, some Kenyans have filed an appeal on behalf of Jesus by scottb
Here’s an article describing it. They’ve named Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate, Herod, the Chief Priest of the Jews, and the Sanhedrin among the respondents. The claim is that the trial followed the incorrect procedure and was improperly carried out under Roman law instead of Jewish law.
Of course, I think that just means he’d have been stoned to death instead of crucified. Assuming he existed of course.
