Judge Rules That God Has No Fixed Abode
TO NEBRASKA, where news is that it’s still there, for now:
A judge has thrown out a Nebraska state legislator’s lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn’t properly served due to his unlisted home address.
Whose house? God’s house.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God. He said God has made terroristic 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.”
But no. Got moves in mysterious way, much like the judiciary:
On Tuesday, however, Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk ruled that under state law a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward.
“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,” Polk wrote.
Chambers offered:
“Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.”
And thunderbolts…

This is the sort of story I like. It’s so good in these dire times of famine, poverty and deprivation to read of someone taking to heart something so very.. er.. daft.

And the best of British to you; I’m pretty sure that there are people out there willing to hang, draw and quarter anyone omitting to realise that their God is, indeed, God.
Spamming everyone would be a start, but after that it will be into the jungle in search of Ofler, and the diamond that I personally would go to bed with…

Since this guy filed a suit against God that must mean he believes in him.
If so, isn’t he worried about explaining his actions to the Almighty at some point?
“Oh, you’re the lawsuit person… I’ve been wanting to talk to you………
