Serving God notice

State Senator Ernie Chambers is our new Avatar of Eris.

Lincoln, Neb. (AP) -- A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator's lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn't properly served due to his unlisted home address. State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God.

He said God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

Fair enough. But what made him decide to bring a suit now?

Chambers has said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

Sure, that's a lucid-sounding reason for filing the lawsuit. But I don't buy it, based on his next remarks.

Chambers, who graduated from law school but never took the bar exam, thinks he's found a hole in the judge's ruling.

"The court itself acknowledges the existence of God," Chambers said Wednesday. "A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God's omniscience."

Therefore, Chambers said, "Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit."

Brilliant logic! But if he really wants to serve God notice, I'd like to advise him the old ways are still the best ways.

Hahahahahahaha... I'd heard about this case when it was filed, but haven't tuned in since.

My little legal heart just grew three sizes.
