Courtcase: Chambers v. God

Finally a cool news story coming out of Nebraska. Ernie Chambers, a state senator from Omaha, has sued God. Awesome. Here are some details from the AP article.

LINCOLN, Neb. - The defendant in a state senator's lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He's everywhere.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he's trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.

Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."


Earlier this year Pete Stark came out as the first member of Congress admitting to be a non-theist, and later Chambers followed him out.

It's pretty hilarious, religious or not I think. Read it, its only 4 pages.
