Theology, at Lunch
October 20, 2008

"So, apparently this senator in Nebraska is trying to sue God.”

“Oh?

“Yeah, for allowing natural disasters or acts of terror or something.  A judge threw it out, though, citing the fact that God has no legal address and can not thus be served a summons.”

“Ah.”

“But the guy countered saying that since God is omniscient, God would know that there He was being served.”

“You know, indicting God has never really worked out for humans, as I recall.”

“Indeed.”

“And it’s not like God promised life would be pretty.  Though, He did say there wouldn’t be a big flood that destroyed all the Earth again.”

“Yeah.  I guess if that happens again, you could get God on breech of contract.”

“There you go.  I’ll write the guy.  Though, you gotta figure the courts are going to be the first things wiped out.”

“Or at least the lawyers.”
