God’s A Hobo, Says US Judge

If ever evidence were required to prove US senators basically insane, it would come from Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who for reasons only he is certain of, recently tried to sue God in the Nebraska courts.^[1]

Apparently, he was attempting to make the point that law suits must be heard, however frivolous they may be. His law suit accused God of:

making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent…[by using] fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like. …[Often 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. …[And] has manifested neither compassion nor remorse, proclaiming that defendant will laugh [Proverbs 1:26].”

The judge threw the case out of court on the grounds that God was of ‘no fixed abode’ and could not therefore be served with the necessary papers.

Senator Chambers argued that, as God was omniscient, He must be fully aware of the court case against Him.

Chambers is considering an appeal.
