God Sued for Terrorism, Case Dismissed

US courts have thrown out a case against God, seeking a permanent injuction against the deity for “death, destruction and terrorisation,” on a technicality, with the judge pointing out that since God has no known address or physical presence, a writ cannot be served against him.
The suit was launched by Nebraska senator Ernie Chambers, who became disgusted with the “widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants,” and so opted to seek justice in a court of law.
The judge would have none of this:
“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice.”
The plaintiff can appeal the decision, but cannot refile the suit. He disputes the verdict, saying that as the court recognised God’s existence and consequently his omniscience, God must know of the suit being brought against him: “Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.”
However, he has not decided whether to appeal yet.
He claims to have launched legal action against God to highlight the fact that “anyone can sue anyone else, even God.”

Welcome to America~
Next thing you know, someone will be suing the anime
characters...
Yeah time to sue Phoenix Wright ^^
With Mr.Ace Attorney on our Site of course...
If Americans can claim fictional drawn characters should have as much rights as real people, and they're willing to persecute people based on these beliefs. Then why shouldn't God be permitted to be sued? They actually believe as a real entity anyways. Otherwise the cases they have against individuals possessing loli art, or their harassment involving Rapelay is proven nothing but a farce according their laws based on this exact belief.
good material for phoenix wright
This lawsuit happened in September of 2007. That's almost 2 YEARS ago. Way to stay current.
I sued God for Bitches and whores
He lol'd
Way to burn taxpayer money dumbfuck
Brilliant, actually.
Dumb america...
God would like to have a chat with all of you :/

Well that's stupid. What are they gonna ask for? a hundred million to pay for damages? Besides, God only punishes humanity when it goes to far with stupidity. War is caused by man; global warming and the following calamities are caused by man; poverty is caused by man. If they ask for a solution from God, we would all be brainwashed or worse killed of. Besides the only way to sue God is with Phoenix Wright and giving him a DRILL THAT SHALL PEIRCE THE HEAVENS!!!
You are now imagining Gurren Lagann doing the "OBJECTION!" pose, but his helmet is replaced with Phoenix Wright's hair.
this is like saving 2D girls from rape...
god you cant sue him he sues you!
In capital Russia, God is sue´ing you!!!!!
idiot attorney is idiot.
God, he'll fuck you up...
Religious nutjob just got a whole diffrent meaning.
Japan got the otakus, China got the quality, but this is the united states of retards.
Religious Nutjob? Does the time I popped the Catholic girl in the face with the 'ol Bukkake Baptism count?
you gots to wash away those sins...
She was a bad girl. God bless her.
Ah, good 'ol religion. Glad I don't have any...
i want to do a Phoenix Wright reference but this is so random my brain cells died and turned on fire. Now ima gonna get an icecream
@ ze pic: Amon Amarth, anyone? (´∀`)
maybe they should try suing the devil... or.. jesus whom did have a known address.. ... .. i think?
This lawsuit was filed in reaction to another lawsuit that was just as frivolous. He wanted to get the law changed so time was not wasted on lawsuits that should have never made it to court.
If there was a god he deserved to get sued genocide for starters.
THANK you. +1, Anon!
i'm just a lost of words at this guy...
why not sue satan while he is at it?
what the hell I though I wanted to sue that baster.
Thank goodness! People that try to sue god are a bunch of retards. Cases like this just make me face palm. "Hyuk, hyuk, Imma gonna sue teh beeg mahn!"
Let's ignore the "'He does exist!' 'No! He doesn't!'" argument for just a moment.
Say we have a being who can control everything on earth, be it for good or ill. Why the fuck should this being answer a court summons? For that matter, why would so said being give a damn about the verdict? I highly doubt that the courts of man would really bother a being that could make all of humanity simultaneously die of heart attacks (No, not Kira... Nor McDonalds)?
For that matter, if someone's going to be a dumb ass and sue god, they should do it for the right reason, not death and destruction.
"Your honor, I am here to sue God for creating humanity, an evil and destructive race of beings who have shown repeatedly throughout history to be hell bent on destroying the world. If this case is ruled in my favor I hope the courts would rule that the human race should never have been made to begin with."
Yeah! Down with god! Wooo
damn it, Ernie Chambers is now the most EPIC man of the law.
we support you.
YE NOT GUILTY
Considering that the power of the country, as well as its law, are "under God," then the government really doesn't have the authority to sue him.
... and even if they could, this Nebraska senator has a very poor case.
a 'senator' did this? He's is either retarded; who's existence proves the incompetence of the system.
or one clever ploy to make one part of the government system to directly recognize god as a factor; so god can be used to justify shit they do in the future or they're still trying to make the nation as christian as possible.
wtf
OH MY GOD!
GOD damn it!!
Who will be NEXT? SATAN? LMFAO.
This...
This news is 2 years old.. But I still LOL'd..
Smart of him to go after God and not Satan since Satan has all the best lawyers at his disposal.
only fool believe there is a God...
outstanding... its nice to know where my taxes are going...(head hung low in shame)
This is fucking classic. Ernie Chambers is my new hero.
that remember me VV and Charles ^^
Does this mean I can sue Kyon for not doing his homework for so fucking long, causing distress and(possibly) suicides among countless otaku?
They'd sue the Devil, but he's got almost all the lawyers. He'd sue back, and win!!!
Hmmm...epic fail detected.
A senator tried to sue god. It's nice to know we have reliable sane people representing us in congress.
...Wait... what? Did this ACTUALLY happen? Oh my god... Yet another example of why I'm ashamed to be an American, with crap like this going on...
He should sue the bible for brainwashing millions and creating millions of loyal armies, hope he didn't forget to say his magic word the "the devil made me do it"
Azathoth is not amused by this faggotry.
Old story and yet it's still one of the best things I've ever read.
Shit.
Doods,
I think that the dood cracking the hourglass in the picture is the god Saturn.
Fuck yeah- someone should make a Harvest Moon where you play as this rather large asshole.
WFT?
This story is at least a year old.
pooooor souls... Does'nt even know the half of what they are doing.. ~_~
"The suit was launched by Nebraska senator Ernie Chambers"
I have lost what faith I had left in politicians.
I think this senator was on some super drugs...
"Since God has no known address or physical presence, a writ cannot be served against him."
Where the hell do people come up with these things?
What the fuck?! A senator?! Who the fuck voted these guys in?! This just tells me that his votes were rigged. That stupid SOB should die for wasting tax payers money.
WOW this is so LAME! Sue against God? LMAO!
You all suck who don't think this guy is a total douche.
Let me translate:
You all suck who don't think like me.
Even if you ask God for money doesn't mean he going to give it to you.
They already made a film about god being sued so this guy fails
They call it the Nebraska Family for a REASON, folks.
hey baby watch this, ok i guess ill stand right here a-dadadadada, oh holy crap, it's still pouring itself!
Me: Sup?
God: I am chatting with others like you.
Me: Cool. So I heard you're getting sued for criminal negligence towards the human race, and wide-spread terrorism.
God: Who is the best robot? I hear you. Do you think I should tone it down?
Me: Yes, I really do.
God: Why? You really do? Do I?
Me: ... You're drunk again, aren't you?
God: Once more? No I am sober.. Really.
Me: I think you can make a case for temporary insanity, based on the fact that you were drunk at the time of the alleged crimes.
God: Me? No I don't think I can do it.
Me: You're God, of course you can do it.
God: Thanks for telling me that I am God of course me can do it.
Me: Try to sober up for your court appearance...
God: OK I will try to sober up for my court appearance.
Me: Good. Talk to you later.
God: I am a good robot. See you later!

Yeah I know. He's always drunk. lol
Try asking about His preferences.
god will destroy amerikkka soon, oh wait is already a fucking shitty country, it will destroy itself
Can't sue which does not exist
We are wasting money on this fetid case???!
BTW...I love the intro pic shows God as a steroid juiced Santa Clause...
I'm finding myself ever so much more depressed with the world if people seriously think sueing God will do them any good.
i LOL'd
Obviously this is a joke people, stop taking it so seriously.
I hope this guy appeals based on the grounds that God does in fact have notice of the lawsuit.
I'd love to see where this ends up haha.
There is NO god in first place, once you die, is the end of everything. ACCEPT THE TRUE FOOL !
That picture is amazing.
It really is
BAD GOD !! Terrorizing us humans.
Now u get what you deserve. *Spanks god*
Holy shit - reporting fail!
Welcome to 2007!
But, that's Zeus.
Abrahamic male-dominion thunderstorm gods are abrahamic male-dominion thunderstorm gods.
You can't sue God. You cannot go against His omnipotent Will. God's just. His existence cannot be defied by the likes of simple mortals.
Deity talk aside, the stature of US.-politicians never ceases to amaze me.
PS: Agnostic Atheist here.
are you an agnostic or an atheist?
wait isnt agnostic atheist a bit of an oxymoron?
That won't stop me from throwing a galaxy at his face.
Agreed
And this is a senator who's tried to sue god?
And in the "documentary" Religulous, another senator truly believed that there was a talking snake and two humans that threw us out of paradise.
Man, sometimes I get really scared of how USA is run
Actually kind of brilliant now that I'm reading WP about it. Basic point is that "Anyone can be sued, even God".
I have no clue how to react to this, or what to make of Chambers, but pretty ballsy for an Independent.
Try living here T_T
As always, when things go great and smoothly, men claim them as their own success and achievements, and when bad things happen or things go wrong, they blame it on God for letting it happens. Typical...very typical way of human thinking...
'human thinking' includes the belief of and believing in a god as well.
Uttaeruwayo!!
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei has made fun of this 'Western' culture of suing everything by creating the lovely western girl Kaere Kimura.. even though she can't speak english properly..
hahahahha. kimura... makes me remember her split personality kaeri.
Mortals cannot punish God.
Getter Emperor punched God in the face.
Maybe if he was real they could at least call him names to his face or something though.
Man: O God, you who have lived for an eternity, is a second for you equivalent to a million mortal years?
God: Yes.
Man: If this is true, o God, then is a dollar for you equivalent to a million dollars on earth?
God: Yes.
Man: Hey, God, can I have a dollar?
God: Sure, just a second.
One heavenly dollar please.
i dont get it.
It's going to take a million years for the man to get his dollar worth a million dollars.
oh, i see :D
ha?

There was a joke just like that in Ever17 except instead of God, the man was talking to a ghost.
what part is that? and you're talking about the ever17 ~ out of infinity right? where they got trapped in an underwater theme park?
I wasn't able to get that far on the game yet. thanks to left 4 dead, visual novels, anime, strategy games and school work.
