Nebraska Democratic State Senator Ernie Chambers has decided to go straight to the top in an effort to stop natural disasters from befalling the world.

Chambers filed a lawsuit against God in Douglas County Court Friday afternoon, KPTM Fox 42 reported.

The suit asks for a "permanent injunction ordering Defendant to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats."

The lawsuit identifies the plaintiff as, "the duly elected and serving State Senator from the 11th Legislative District in Omaha, Nebraska."

Chambers also cites that the, "defendant directly and proximately has caused, inter alia, fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues..."

Will God be in contempt of court if he doesn't show up? If so, who's gonna go get him and cuff him?

Chambers says he isn't suing God because he has any kind of beef with the deity. He says the suit is to fight possible laws restricting the filing of frivolous lawsuits. Chambers tells KPTM FOX 42 News that his lawsuit is in response to bills brought forth by other state senators to try and stop lawsuits from being filed.

The article doesnt say if he is seeking "damages"

As I understand it, he is seeking an injunction against future calamities.

Here's the same story from a different source. Not surprisingly, Mr. Chambers seems to have very little faith in God.

Nebraska State Senator sues God to stop plagues, terror threats

A Nebraska lawmaker is taking his complaints about frivolous lawsuits limits all the way to the top.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God.

"It's a lawsuit against a defendant who has perpetrated much harm and damage on the human race," Chambers said on CNN.

Chambers says his frivolous lawsuit against the Lord was meant to protest a suit filed against a Nebraska judge who banned the words "rape" and "victim" from a woman's rape trial.

Some Nebraska lawmakers are trying to pass legislation preventing frivolous lawsuits, but Chambers says anyone should be able to file a lawsuit against anyone else.

"The Constitution requires that the courthouse doors be open, so you cannot prohibit the filing of suits," Chambers tells a local Fox affiliate. "Anyone can sue anyone they choose, even God."

In his suit, Chambers seeks an injunction against God ordering the deity to stop natural disasters and terror threats. Fox News notes that Chambers is not a Christian.

"Apparently this Omaha senator, he also skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians," a Fox host notes. "So apparently this guy is not a man of faith, which is fine, but it's a little unusual he's suing God, I don't think he's going to get a response."

The lawsuit notes that Chambers tried several times to contact the defendant, KETV reported.

“Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon Defendant ('Come out, come out, wherever you are') has been unable to do so,” the suit says.

Boy, wouldn't we be in trouble if he wins his lawsuit and takes control of the weather away from God??

Not to worry, even if he wins in a lower court, upon appeal to a "higher authority" it will be overturned, and he is just making himself look like an idiot.

The biggest idiot I have ever heard of.

Pastor Bill wrote:Not to worry, even if he wins in a lower court, upon appeal to a "higher authority" it will be overturned, and he is just making himself look like an idiot.

maybe he chose not to sue the Aliens that abducted him thinking that would make him look like an idiot so he chose to sue God instead?

What if God counter-sues?

That would be interesting.

I can see another "Almighty" movie in the making. Since it is judicial maybe the will call it Madlock Almighty
