Lawsuit against God (and He’s got a lawyer, too!)
You read the title right folks! My God, this is by far the oddest and most amusing story I have ever read!!! I laughed my heart out as I finished the last paragraph!Hehehe.
The lawsuit was filed by US Sen. Chambers because he contested that God made terorristic threats and inspired fear! Yeah right, so all those bombings and killings were done because of God? Tsk,tsk, a very serious case indeed. Good thing God already got a lawyer. And guess who will take the witness stand? …well, just read on so that you will laugh like me!
This lawsuit is for real! Oh yeah…now, it’s a bit awkward to say, God bless you people!So for now I’ll just say, Good day everyone! Cheers!
‘God’ gets an attorney in lawsuit

The mystery of one response to a lawsuit against God has been solved. Eric Perkins, an attorney in Corpus Christi, Texas, said Friday he filed a response to the lawsuit from Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers. “It’s kind of a turn on ‘What would Jesus do?’” Perkins said. “I thought to myself, “what would God say?”
“Defendant denies that this or any court has jurisdiction … over Him any more than the court has jurisdiction over the wind or rain, sunlight or darkness,” according to Perkins’ response.
As for Chambers’ contention that God made terroristic threats, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization,” Perkins wrote that God “contends that any harm or injury suffered is a direct and proximate result of mankind ignoring obvious warnings.”
Perkins, who said he is a Christian, faxed one of at least two responses to Chambers’ lawsuit. He said while he hopes the lawsuit was just a stunt by Chambers, “maybe his timing has something to do with world affairs. I’d hate to be that person who sat back and did nothing.”
The problem of serving God a summons could land the lawsuit in the earthly scrap heap of failed legal actions.
But whether the issue goes before a judge may largely depend on how hard Chambers pushes the issue. The senator isn’t asking that notice be served to God, but says in his lawsuit that if he doesn’t get a summary judgment in the case, he wants a hearing — “if the court deems such a hearing not to be a futile act.”
Chambers, a self-proclaimed agnostic, said he’s trying to makes the point that anybody can sue anybody. He said his filing was triggered by a federal lawsuit he considers frivolous.
It’s still not clear where a second response from “God” came from. There was no contact information on the filing, which turned up on the counter at the Douglas County Court office, although St. Michael the Archangel is listed as a witness.
Attempts to reach Chambers by phone Friday were unsuccessful.
