An apparently athiest Nebraska state senator filed suit against God last year basically for being a terrorist. The judge threw the case out today because the case documents didn't have an address for God and so the court couldn't properly serve Him notice of the suit. The State Senator says he thinks he sees a loophole in the fact that God is omniscient and therefore must know about the case. His stated reason for bringing suit: "to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor." Frivolous law suits like this case are supposed to make the point that MORE people should have access to the courts? Forutnately, Nebraska has term limits. |

Well, if God had shown up for court, the case might have gone somewhere.

Well, if God had shown up for court, the case might have gone somewhere. Ah but then the press would have gotten heavily involved, God would be the perfect defense lawyer (of course He would represent Himself) so the trial would drag on for months, and you'd have effectively a new O.J. trial. |

As if God could possibly be at the wrong end.

More to the point, how did an atheist get elected to the Senate in Nebraska?
Reminds me of the old joke about the boundary fence dispute between Heaven and Hell. God threatens to sue, but Satan just laughs: "Oh yeah? Where are you going to get a lawyer?"

And then there is the joke about when a Lawyer dies and ends up at the Pearly gates, and beside him is the Pope. Well, Saint Peter ushers them both in, and to the Lawyers surprise, he is greeted by angelic singing ,and is shown to a fancy mansion, while the Pope is give small apartment with little fan fair. The Lawyer is surprised, and asks Saint Peter, "What's the deal, I am just an ordinary guy, but him he is the Pope!" Saint Peter turns to him and says. . .
"Son, we got dozens of Popes, but how many LAWYERS you think we got?"
ba-Dum-TISSHHH!!!
