For reasons known only to the plaintiffs, we periodically must suffer fools suing God.
A Douglas County District Court judge has tossed out Nebraska State Sen. Ernie Chambers' lawsuit against God.
Judge Marlon Polk says Chambers can't sue God if he can't serve papers on him.
The court had warned Chambers in the past that his lawsuit may be dismissed because he had failed to serve notice on God. Chambers had responded by arguing the Almighty shouldn't need notice because God already knows everything.
Chambers has said he's trying to make a point that anybody can sue anybody. He is a self-proclaimed agnostic who is being pushed out of the Legislature because of term limits.
Chambers filed the lawsuit in September 2007. It sought a permanent injunction to prevent God from committing acts of violence such as tornadoes and earthquakes.
What would be funnier is if there were an earthquake at the courthouse.
