God Lawsuit Gets Answers
By NATE JENKINS, Associated Press Writer
LINCOLN, Neb. - A legislator who filed a lawsuit against God has gotten something he might not have expected: a response.
One of two court filings from "God" came Wednesday under otherworldly
circumstances, according to John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County
District Court in Omaha.
"This one miraculously appeared on the counter. It just all of a sudden
was here _ poof!" Friend said. State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha sued
God last week, seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty for
making terroristic threats, inspiring fear and causing "widespread
death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the
Earth's inhabitants." Chambers, a self-proclaimed agnostic who often
criticizes Christians, said his filing was triggered by a federal
lawsuit he considers frivolous. He said he's trying to makes the point
that anybody can sue anybody. Not so, says "God." His response argues
that the defendant is immune from some earthly laws and the court lacks
jurisdiction.
It adds that blaming God for human oppression and suffering misses an
important point. "I created man and woman with free will and next to
the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you,"
according to the response, as read by Friend.
There was no contact information on the filing, although St. Michael
the Archangel is listed as a witness, Friend said. A second response
from "God" disputing Chambers' allegations lists a phone number for a
Corpus Christi law office. A message left for that office was not
immediately returned Thursday.
Attempts to reach Chambers by phone and at his Capitol office Thursday were unsuccessful.
