LINCOLN, Neb. - A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator's lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn't properly served because of his unlisted home address. State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God. He said God has made terrorist threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants.
The Nebraska senator who tried to file a lawsuit against God last year had his case thrown out because legal papers cannot be served since God has no fixed address. Last year Sen. Ernie Chambers tried to file a permanent injunction against God in order to stop Him from causing any more "fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes and terrifying tornadoes." Chambers is considering appealing the decision as he claims that an omniscient being wouldn't need legal papers to know that he is being sued. "Since God knows everything," said Chambers, "God has notice of this lawsuit." (BBC)
For Coloradans, loving Nebraskans can be difficult enough. Those Cornhusker fans annoy us. One of the state's most prominent politicians, former State Sen. Ernie Chambers, filed a lawsuit against God for causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon million of the earth's inhabitants," and for causing "fearsome floods, horrendous hurricanes, earthquakes, plagues, famine, genocidal wars, birth defects, terrifying tornadoes and the like. And it gets so much worse. The radio stations incessantly give hog reports. There's a city called Wahoo. They mispronounce Beatrice. There's even a book titled "I hate Nebraska: 303 reasons why you should, too."
A Romanian prisoner has filed a lawsuit against God, claiming that his baptism was a contract that was supposed to keep the devil away, but that his contract was broken by God, despite receiving "various goods and prayers" in exchange for forgiveness and the promise that "I would be rid of problems and have a better life." Instead," claims Pavel M, "God left him in the Devil's hands." The lawsuit reads, in part, "I, the undersigned Pavel M, currently jailed at Timisoara Penitentiary serving a 20 years sentence for murder, request legal action against God, resident in Heaven, and represented here by the Romanian Orthodox Church, for committing the following crimes: cheating, concealment, abuse against people's interest, taking bribes and traffic of influence."

A Nebraska judge dismissed a state senator's lawsuit against God because the omnipresent deity couldn't be found to serve with a legal notice. Trying to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts, Sen. Ernie Chambers sought a permanent injunction against God for inspiring fear and causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." Under state law, however, a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a suit to move forward. "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant," Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk ruled, "this action will be dismissed with prejudice. An Italian judge ordered a parish church in Lavagna to pay $75,175 to a woman who c...
