God was sued earlier this week by state senator Ernie Chambers, the longest-serving member of the Legislature. Before you shake your head and offer a quiet chuckle: listen up. God has been served for the following: “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like.”

Not to mention, according to Chambers, “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.” By all accounts the All Mighty sounds like a real…interesting guy?

In the lawsuit, Chambers also claims the plaintiff never returned his calls. “Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon defendant ‘Come out, come out, wherever you are,’ has been unable to do so,’” Chambers said.

Chambers issued this lawsuit in response to another he considers to be frivolous and inappropriate. In doing so, he raised a lot of eyebrows and maybe even opened a few minds. Beyond rampant religious belief and ideals, it comes down to our beautiful legal system. Anyone can sue anyone, even the almighty himself… wherever he may be, he may be wanted for questioning.

From the article:

OMAHA, Neb — State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. He said on Monday that it is to prove a point about frivolous lawsuits.

Chambers said senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the filing of certain types of suits. He said his main objection is that the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all.

“Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody — even God,” Chambers said.

Chambers said he decided to file the lawsuit after a suit was filed in early September in federal court against Lancaster County Judge Jeffre Cheuvront. He’s the judge who was hearing a sexual assault case in which the plaintiff wants to use the words rape and victim during her testimony.

Chambers lawsuit, which was filed on Friday in Douglas County Court, seeks a permanent injunction ordering God to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.

The lawsuit admits God goes by all sorts of alias, names, titles and designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is omnipresent.
