I'm sure everyone at some time in their life has rolled their eyes over something. I tend to do it when I think something is ridiculous. It's a bad habit I have and I have tried to stop. However, the article that is linked here has rekindled my "rolling of the eyes" syndrome.
Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Senator Chambers is suing God because he wants to prove how easy it is to have a frivolous lawsuit. Or so he says. If you read the article you may sense a hidden agenda. In the lawsuit, Chambers says 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 funny bone in me can't help but wonder a few things. What address did the copy of the lawsuit go to? Did the envelope come back address unknown or undeliverable? If God is subpoenaed is it legal if he swears upon himself? Is the bailiff really going to ask God to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Would God ask Satan to be his attorney, since he is so good at the whole manipulation thing? What courthouse would be able to hold God? What would a jury of his peers look like? Would the judge be jealous because God's robes are brighter? If witnesses are called do they have to go over and touch God and swear that they will tell the truth? What are the damages that the plaintiff is asking for?
Anyway, let's forget about the time and money that is being wasted to prove this point and dig deeper into what this might really be about. Here is a man who is lost. Who does not understand. I see him as a lost soul. Anyone who can just come out and sue God in my opinion needs help. Not only with a psychiatrist but also a spiritualist. He needs to be witnessed to, he needs to be brought in the fold and shown the true power and love of God. He needs to be shown the way.
Let's be honest. This lawsuit isn't about the legal process or lack of, this is about a man who is angry. A man who can't see past his sin, a man with no faith. To me that is worse than any frivolous lawsuit. That is the statement I take away from this article.

This is the second time I have seen this on a blog this week.
If he summons God, and He shows up wouldn't that be the second coming and the beginning of the rapture? I wonder if Ernie would say Uhoh!
Maybe Ernie would be standing there no longer in a dry pair of slacks.
