from the pages of duh!journal: taking god to court

duh!journal scours the earth for dumb behavior….some low brow…some high minded…all duh!

here’s a story with all kinds of dumb and snickering galore!

first the article and then my comments at the bottom..this is from my boy, norman and the bbcnews:

A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.

The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling.

He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the “death, destruction and terrorisation” caused by God.

Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a case to proceed.

“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,” Judge Polk wrote in his ruling.

Mr Chambers cannot refile the suit but may appeal.

‘God knows everything’

Mr Chambers sued God last year. He said God had threatened him and the people of Nebraska and had inflicted “widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants”.

He said he would carefully consider Judge Polk’s ruling before deciding whether to appeal.

The court, Mr Chambers said, had acknowledged the existence of God and “a consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God’s omniscience”.

“Since God knows everything,” he reasoned, “God has notice of this lawsuit.”

Mr Chambers, a state senator for 38 years, said he filed the suit to make the point that “anyone can sue anyone else, even God”.

this seems like an obvious waste of time.

why would you sue god unless you thought he was real? and if he were real, why would you sue him? it reminds me of the passage in the new testament where the armies of the world gather to fight god. and god dispatches them with a flick.

the alternative is of course is that there is no god. and if there is no god, why are you suing him? if there is no god*, why waste your precious moments suing the boogeyman? go get fios installed and get your porn on just like the rest of america who have nothing better to do.**

this guy would have better luck suing sasquatch. and that’s called irony, kids.
