Nebraskan Paradise
Nebraska must be a paradise on Earth, with laws so perfect that the state legislature has nothing better to do so one of it's senators can engage in frivolous lawsuits trying to make some lame-ass point. "I'm going to sue a god that doesn't exist, I'm so clever ho-HO!" What next, is he going to sue Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too? Remember a long time ago we had a discussion about why people were "bigoted" against out-spoken atheists? (Points to Ernie Chambers, shakes head.) You guys need to get together and find new spokes-people. Possible a hot super-model with a penchant for losing articles of clothing.

RE: He likely only wants the court to recognize God
So there will be a tacit recognition of God, which is probably all that Chambers wants anyway.
Actually, he's an atheist, so that's unlikely.
Plus, this isn't the first time the courts have been faced with something like this. Back in 1971, Gerald Mayo sued Satan. The court made a few intellectual wisecracks and dismissed it on the grounds that the plaintiff hadn't provided instructions on how the Marshall's office could serve process on the defendant.
Ernie Chambers might have an easier time of it, though - the defendant in his case is purported to be omniscient and omnipresent. But that's just his fanboys talking. I think the burden of proof of omniscience would fall on the plaintiff.
