[rockchick]

Apparently, some smartie has decided to take out their frustrations regarding the way the world is going on the Almighty:

Very funny, makes me think of Mark Twain[lol]!!

The guy "filed the suit to make a point about the frivolous lawsuits frequently seen in the US............."

....so PLEASE can this not turn into another God thread!!:eek:

'State lawmaker Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit on Friday against the Almighty -- acknowledging he/she goes by numerous aliases -- for causing "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues" and other alliterative catastrophes'.

Maybe he should of filed a lawsuit agains mankind, who after all have abused the planet since time began!

That is a funny thought Brandy. I have this image of God being nervous about giving evidence and his Solicitor saying "Just relax and be Yourself"

It was a good movie, I thought. Because it ended up involving the Catholic Church as His (God's) representatives on earth, and they were in a bind as to whether or not God exists. If He did, they were liable, if He didn't, the insurance company would have to pay up. I thought it was great. [lol]
