A New Terror Network?

Strange news coming out of the state of Nebraska: A state legislator has filed suit against God.

According to his claim, the Almighty is causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. The legislator, Sen. Ernie Chambers, says that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." Senator Chambers says that God can be sued in Douglas County because "He's everywhere."

The lawsuit is intended to make a point that anyone can file frivolous lawsuits against anyone else. In particular, he is angered by a lawsuit brought by a woman against a judge, who barred the use of the words "rape" and "victim" in a sexual assault trial. He considers the lawsuit frivolous because the woman filed the federal suit after the Nebraska Supreme Court had already ruled on the matter.

In Senator Chambers's suit, he alleges that God has caused "fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes." He is seeking a permanent injunction against the Lord.

It is unknown at this point whether God will represent himself in court, or if he will venture into Hell to find a good attorney.
