Nebraska State Senator Suing God

State Senator Sues God For Making 'Terroristic Threats'

To prove a point about frivolous lawsuits, Nebraska state Senator Ernie Chambers is suing God.

Chambers said senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the filing of certain types of suits. He said his main objection is the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all. Chambers said, "Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody-- even God."

Triggering Chambers' action is a federal lawsuit against a state judge who barred the words "rape" and "victim" in court.

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 aliases, names, titles and designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is “Omnipresent.”

Chambers wrote in the lawsuit that he’s tried to contact God numerous times.

The lawsuit also accuses God “of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm," and alleges God has caused, “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like.”

Chambers asks for the court to grant him a summary judgment. He said as an alternative, he wants the judge to set a date for a hearing as “expeditiously” as possible and enter a permanent injunction enjoining God from engaging in the types of deleterious actions and the making of terroristic threats described in the lawsuit.

  • Today, apparently God answered back. The papers simply 'appeared' - no one knows from where. No address on it, but Archangel Michael is listed as a witness.
    I am not making this up!

    And that's all I've go to say about the topic.

  • I dunno, it sounds good to me - maybe he could make it a class action suit?
