State senator sues God

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

A Nebraska state senator is moving forward with his controversial lawsuit against his maker, requesting "a permanent injunction ordering [God] to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats."

State Sen. Ernie Chambers, I-Omaha, appeared before Douglas County District Judge Marlon Polk in a scheduling hearing against God on July 28.

Chambers, an atheist, requested that the court acknowledge the presence of God in the courtroom so he wouldn't be required to "serve notice" of the trial, according to the Omaha World-Herald.

The complaint drew widespread criticism when Chambers filed the lawsuit against God last year for creating "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like."

Chambers also blames God for 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."

I believe the title of the thread should be “State Senator Loses Mind”.

Boy is this guy going to get a surprise.

[Impy]

Nice of him to dress up for work.

Harps back to the book by C.S. Lewis: “God in the Dock”. The ‘dock’ in this case is the courtroom dock. In this series of essays Lewis contends that modern man has essentially attempted to put God on trial.

Can God sue back for the hundreds of millions of people that atheism has killed in the past century alone?

Atheism kills people?

I hope this nut hasn’t produced any little nuts.

[Gay State Conservative]

Sounds like a real Fruit Loop.How long will it be before this clown migrates to Berkeley,Madison or Cambridge?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

How Ironic. just by his lawsuit alone, he is claiming that there is a GOD.
The revolving door effect.

[mc5cents]

Now, now senator, you just sit there in that corner for a minute and we will be right back...

[Prophet in the wilderness]

One thing I have learned, you can’t fight or beat GOD.

[Made In The USA]

What kind of morons voted this whacko into office?

If a State Senator has enough spare time for this, he needs to indulge in a lot more heavy lifting of the important issues are country faces.

[Enosh]

Job 9, case dismissed.

(19 & 33)

[longtermmemmory]

actually there is a priciple against using the courts for advisory opinions or issues that do have actual fact at issue.

this is just this atheists effort for force the judiciary to create a state religion in violation of the first amendment.

[N3WBI3]

What judge would allow this joke to occur in his courtroom!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

In spite of the loonyness of people like this, GOD still will offer mercy to them and him.

[Hoffer Rand]

Somebody clearly has more time and money than brains. Why is this idiot being permitted to waste taxpayer $$$ with this drivel??

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Actually, when you think about it, God himself ( in the human form of Jesus Christ ) was put on trial on our behalf, to take and received the penalty of condemnation and death that we deserved.
Jesus paid it all.

I hope this nut hasn’t produced any little nuts.

I tried Googling to find out, but it says nothing about his family, so I'm guessing he doesn't have one.

[N. Theknow]

Obviously this a$$hat did not get the memo that all the things he is suing for are caused by:

1. Global warming Climate Change

2. Bush

3. Halliburton

4. Gun-toting, Bible-thumping, NASCAR-loving, SUV-driving, ultra-conservatives and neocons.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The judge ought to dismiss it with prejudice. And then dope slap the guy.

[fella]

The fact that Ernie Chambers has been elected to a public office speaks volumes about the willing ignorance of the voters and MSM's total lack of effort to inform the voters.

It also explains why so may if not all of our elected elite hold us in such contempt for they know what they are and what they have done that we have not been informed about. And they gleefully accept the results to our own undoing.
