WASHINGTON (AFP) - A court in Nebraska is being asked to cast judgement on the ultimate judge -- God.

State lawmaker Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit Friday against the Almighty -- acknowledging he/she goes by numerous aliases -- for causing "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues" and other alliterative catastrophes.

The suit, Chambers vs God, asks the court for a "permanent injunction ordering defendant (God) to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terrorist threats" which affect innumerable persons, including Chambers's constituents.

It asserts that God is "the admitted perpetrator" of such acts and said that God's omnipresence gives the local Douglas County District Court jurisdiction in the suit, adding that God's omniscience eliminates the need to issue a formal notice of the lawsuit.

Chambers told local media he filed the suit to make a point about frivolous lawsuits frequently seen in US courts, citing a recent one against a judge.

He asked the court to award him an unspecified summary judgment against God, or, in the alternative, issue a permanent injunction against God engaging in the damaging acts cited in the filing.

Neither God nor his/her spokespersons could be contacted for comment.

A overview of the trial's ruling will probly go like so...

Judge: In the case of the chambers vs god, the ruling is to the plaintiff.
(Lightning Strikes Plaintiff)
Judge: Errr, ashes of plaintiff....
(Chunk of burning rock crashes through ceiling and lands on ashes)
Judge: Well bottom line is the plaintiff won i guess...
Bystander viewing the case: Careful what you sa-
(Everyone turns into hamsters)

Of course, this is just chuck norris doing all this, not god, its pure coincidence.

Did anyone actually read the article?

Chambers told local media he filed the suit to make a point about frivolous lawsuits frequently seen in US courts, citing a recent one against a judge.

Sure, it's a real law suit, but the intentions aren't to actually "sue" god. He's making a statement about the bs lawsuits which are cropping up all over the place in today's society. It's a great point.

The woman who sued and won against McDonald's because she spilled hot coffee on herself. A burglar who slips and breaks his leg while breaking into your house sues you for damages, and wins. A convicted murderer sues the prison system because he doesn't get his yard time, or because his lunch was stale. These are all real lawsuits.

The legal system is a joke, and he's yelling that joke into a megaphone.
