"...and nothing but the truth, so help you, You?"

A state Senator in Nebraska is suing God.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he’s trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.

Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terrorist 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.”

The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused “fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes.”

He’s seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.

Of course, this isn't fair at all, because God can assemble the ultimate Dream Team to represent him, including John Marshall, Clarence Darrow, the drafters of the Magna Carta, and Johnnie Cochran.

This actually mirrors a book by James Morrow called Blameless in Abaddon where God is put on trial, but I won't tell you the outcome because it'd spoil the ending. Of the trial, I mean.
