- clafleche, on 10/10/2007, -6/+86BREAKING: Senator Ernie Chambers Killed by Lighting
- UltraDavid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+48God can't lose; he hired Johnny Cochran onto his team just a couple years ago.
- bebop717, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41Good luck god finding a lawyer in heaven.
- TheMidnight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37That description sucks. It should read:
It says God has caused, “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like.” Chambers asks for the court to grant him a summary judgement.or enter a permanent injunction enjoining God from engaging in the types of deleterious actions and the making of terroristic threats described in the lawsuit.
This is gold: In the lawsuit Chambers says he’s tried to contact God numerous times, “Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon Defendant (“Come out, come out, wherever you are”) has been unable to do so.” - Gabberwok, on 10/10/2007, -0/+32Nah, Satan got all the lawyers...
- mcscooter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28If this works I'm gonna sue him because I'm short and balding. Also, he didn't listen about that lottery thing....
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Wouldn't you be required to prove that the Defendant exists first?
- DeskFlyer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Did a street lamp fall on him?
- MrClownn, on 10/10/2007, -5/+23It's about goddamn time someone held Him accountable for all the ***** He's pulled over the years. I don't think the statute of limitations has run out on the Crusades yet.

- kmadigan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Dude: "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"
God: "Uhhh.. sure." - preauxx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17beautiful and overdue.
- DolphinGL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15If the halo don't fit, you must acquit!
- al042077, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I seem to remember he had a bill to repeal the death penalty that got voted down. He followed that with a bill to reinstate the guillotine. I'll say this: he gets noticed.
- goldfishey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14in the movie -" the man who sued god", The christian and Jewish Churches were held liable as Gods representatives on Earth. So they were in the position of having to ante up the money, or prove god doesnt exist. :) I dont think its ever actually been tested in an actual court of law before thought!
- Ajajadude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Details
- shadowmoose, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12He did it for the lulz.
- Loonacy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8No, God is omnipresent, therefor he had to have been there.
- outsidethinkbox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10*walks up*
Me: Excuse me, sir, are you God?
God: Yes I am my child.
Me: You've been served
*hands envelope and walks off* - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8If you can do that, I'm going to sue Santa for forgetting my presents last year.
- Lane, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Been there done that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Sued_God - christor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8The Senator says it's to demonstrate the problem with frivolous lawsuits. I say it sounds as though his suit has merit. After all, if God exists, and he's omniscient, then he has a lot to answer for. Injoining further wanton destruction and pestilence is just a beginning.
- orxor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7For a minute I thought I was reading the onion.
- Vash265, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6At what other point has Chambers made us look like idiots? He's an extremely bright, sensical man. Please elaborate instead of pandering to the uneducated.
- Funktastic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It does if you noticed clafleche's typo.
- Gabberwok, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I wonder what the out-of-court settlement will be?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -8/+13Without frivolous lawsuits, America just would not be America.
OJ Still didn't do it. - mtrip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Alleged rape victim.
- nusuni, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If God loses this case O.J. better get tossed in a pit of hungry lions.
- searob1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I guess the prosecution will be en absentia. One could make the case the God is not a citizen, but if God is not a citizen, then God must be an illegal alien terrorist who inhabits many countries. How do you catch that invisible flying spaghetti monster?
I like this and I hope it goes forward with some seriousness. I know it won't prove to anyone whether God does or does not exist, because people's minds aren't so easily swayed, but the state senator unwittingly validates what I already believe even more so. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Holy *****, this is genius!
- squegie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That just made my day.
- juliev, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This is absolutely ridiculous. I agree there are a lot of frivolous lawsuits out there, but the case that Mr. Chambers refers to is NOT one. A woman was raped and was not allowed to use the word rape or victim in a trial of her attacker? How do you justify that? How can you try someone for rape, if you can't even use the word? I know there is the term sexual assault, but that is a much broader term. If it was actual rape then they should say rape. If you are going to use the pretense of frivolous lawsuits for your circus act, at least cite a truly frivolous case.
- Wacer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Since the defendant didn't show up, there can be no settlement. The judge will have to set the damages if the judgment goes against God.
- Bartboy919, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Oddly, God never appeared on his court date.
- olik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I saw one of these once where someone was suing the devil. It gets dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5+1 for sarcasm. Wait, that was sarcasm, wasn't it? *sigh*
- airwalkery2k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I love you, Ernie Chambers. You're my most favorite state senator ever--and only one of two I know in this entire state.
- TWiTsoldier, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4This article sounds like it was written by a fourth grader. The article contains so many grammatical errors that it actually became hard to follow. I guess there's no such thing as an editor on the Internet.
- Rodman930, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe God should show up to the trial and defend himself. Or would he rather preform one of his terrorist acts on him?
- greenmuzz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Billy Connelly is very much Scottish....
- stklaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3But how will they prove that God did it?
- Luxowell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Damn right my friend!
Ermie is the only thing that keeps politics in Nebraska funny and interesting. - gizelda196, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Christian right listen up WE WILL TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a proud heathen - DCB360, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3"Dat DnA don't mean nothin'"
Now I see why he didn't do it. - flashback99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3yeah guys. we've established that god does not exist. Now lets establish an education system that ensures people know this fact.
- insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Just beautiful. Rather than sue for money, make it illegal for god to do anything. That will shut all the terrorists, ooops, priests up.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4"I'm gonna be rich!"
- Tack122, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Dude, he has a good reason to be doing this, maybe you haven't read the article?
