In case you haven't heard, State Senator Ernie Chambers is suing God. Finally someone has decided to hold God accountable in the one patriotic, blue-blooded American way by filing legal action. The Senator is trying to file an injunction that, according to the KETV.com and the Associated Press, would order "God to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats" It seems in America it takes a lawsuit for anyone to notice you, and now God is even is being punished for his lack of attention. I guess just one too many prayers went unanswered. I love the smell of justice in the morning.
You may ask what 'The Accused' is charged with. Well it appears our Plaintiff has a laundry list of charges including, "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like." Added to the litany of charges also includes, "calamitous catastrophes resulting in wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earths' inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children, the aged and infirm without mercy of distinction." It's a fairly damming list charges.
Senator Ernie Chambers claims that it not a ploy to try and bring God down a notch or two, but to make a point about frivolous lawsuits. Chambers claims that he objects to the door of the courthouses being open to all, making even God a possible target of the American judiciary system. While lawyers are expected to act in 'good faith' while in the process of deciding whether or not to file a lawsuit, I believe the majority of Goucher students wouldn't equate the words 'lawyer' and 'good faith' as two words that can belong truthfully in the same sentence.
Frivolous lawsuits are dangerous in my mind though. They clog up the court system faster than a cheeseburger in Dick Cheney's heart ...
By the way, I thought the 'conversion' of the USA to a Christian War Nation was supposed to change the fate of the world in God's eyes. Wait. That was Noah.
