Who's suing God?

magicalturkey · 20 Sep 07 :: 16:26

A senator in Nebraska, because of all the natural disasters and the wars and everything. He's more just trying to get people sturred up.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Sep 07 :: 16:44

That's awesome. But I think he should sue GW Dumbass about the wars, not God.

magicalturkey · 20 Sep 07 :: 16:49

Yeah, he should in this case. But he was talking about all the religious wars in the Middle East, which are sorta God's fault.

Well, actually, they're the fault of insanely zealous people fighting over God. Not exactly God's fault. Free will, remember.

magicalturkey · 20 Sep 07 :: 16:56

Well, he can't sue the people in Israel... they have nothing to give him.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Sep 07 :: 17:22

What does he think God can give him?

magicalturkey · 20 Sep 07 :: 17:31

A Corduroy jacket and an antenna headband. I don't know, I think it's just the principle of the thing. What thing? No idea. But there's a principle behind it.

That reminds me of that story I read online. A man from Romania tried to sue God once too. I actually laughed about that. LOL

magicalturkey · 20 Sep 07 :: 20:49

Trust me, Conservative Republicans here are laughing at him, but they'd laugh at him anyway because he's an Independent

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Sep 07 :: 22:05

Yes, we Independents are HIGHlarious!

magicalturkey · 20 Sep 07 :: 22:07

I know we are! It's mostly cause it's not a "real" party.

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 21 Sep 07 :: 08:07

Like how Bush is a real politician?:rolleyes:

Politics...Schmolitics

magicalturkey · 21 Sep 07 :: 13:37

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Someone mixed up the randomness posts!

domesticelefant · 21 Sep 07 :: 17:57

I think I need a vacation.

Back to the guy who was suing God. Seems a response from God has mysteriously appeared:

'God' Apparently Responds to Lawsuit

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.

Associated Press Writer Anna Jo Bratton in Omaha contributed to this report.

A cute guy with spiky hair and a corduroy jacket was observed leaving the courtroom...

magicalturkey · 21 Sep 07 :: 20:03

It woulda been funnier if a Latino gothic boy was seen leaving... but a cute boy works too.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Sep 07 :: 20:23

Yeah, you're probably right.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 22 Sep 07 :: 04:17

What are you guys doing aside from being online right now? I'm watching a marathon of my beloved Flight Of The Conchords on HBO 2. Waiting for Bill Maher at 11. This is one of my favorite eps, "Drive By", with the song, "Mutha Uckas".

magicalturkey · 22 Sep 07 :: 04:24

Uh... I'm writing the story I'm most likely gonna owe you tomorrow. And I'm watching some 20/20 special thing

Chnyst · 22 Sep 07 :: 04:48

I'm being thankful that the weekend is here, and eating a sammich. Jacen is next to me drawing pictures of TIE Fighters blowing up.

domesticelefant · 22 Sep 07 :: 20:32

Sorry I wasn't online today. I was at a meeting of our Sturge Weber association and since it was a long drive I was busy all day.

Outside my staircase window as of yesterday:

Ew.

FYI, it's a European Garden Spider and this one is about two inches long (including legs).
