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.”

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.
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?

She was a bad girl. God bless her.
Welcome to America~

Brilliant, actually.
Dumb america...

Does this mean I can sue Kyon for not doing his homework for so fucking long, causing distress and(possibly) suicides among countless otaku?
this is like saving 2D girls from rape...

Ah, good 'ol religion. Glad I don't have any...
This...
@ ze pic: Amon Amarth, anyone? (´∀`)
maybe they should try suing the devil... or.. jesus whom did have a known address.. ... .. i think?
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."
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!
what the hell I though I wanted to sue that baster.
i'm just a lost of words at this guy...
why not sue satan while he is at it?
It is God's fault that Satan came into being in the first place, so the fault once again falls onto God.
Yeah! Down with god! Wooo
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.
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.
damn it, Ernie Chambers is now the most EPIC man of the law.
we support you.
wtf
Who will be NEXT? SATAN? LMFAO.
This is fucking classic. Ernie Chambers is my new hero.
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.
OH MY GOD!
GOD damn it!!
only fool believe there is a God...
that remember me VV and Charles ^^
outstanding... its nice to know where my taxes are going...(head hung low in shame)
They'd sue the Devil, but he's got almost all the lawyers. He'd sue back, and win!!!
We are wasting money on this fetid case???!
BTW...I love the intro pic shows God as a steroid juiced Santa Clause...
Hmmm...epic fail detected.
A senator tried to sue god. It's nice to know we have reliable sane people representing us in congress.
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"
...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...
