The trouble with suing God

Nebraska state Senator is seeking a permanent injunction against God.

Chambers says God has made terroristic threats against he and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”

But Chambers is having trouble locating God:

The court told Chambers last week that his lawsuit may be dismissed because he had failed to serve notice on God. Chambers acknowledged that failure in court Tuesday while sitting a few feet away from an empty table reserved for God and God’s attorney.

“Despite my most sincere, zealous efforts, I could not find a location to serve the defendant,” Chambers said.

But Chambers asked Polk to take official notice of God, and the Almighty’s omniscience and omnipresence.

Chambers argued that courts and the U.S. government already routinely take notice of God. Courts swear in witnesses with an oath that includes the phrase “so help me God.” Plus, the pledge of allegiance describes “one nation, under God,” and U.S. currency proclaims “In God We Trust.”

And the senator said that if the court recognizes God, the deity wouldn’t need formal notice of the lawsuit because he knows everything. And God would be at every hearing because he’s everywhere always.
