GOD SUED

In brief

An injunction is being sought in the US against God to prevent Him and His followers making terrorist threats. The case has been filed in a Nebraska district court by Senator Ernie Chambers, in protest at frivolous law suits in the US courts. The suit says that God “has made and continues to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons”. Chambers, who says Nebraska is as good a place for such a case as any since God is omnipresent, asked the court for a summary judgment or for an injunction against God from engaging in the acts detailed in the suit.
