http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=...vqh=itn_suesgod LINCOLN, Neb. - A legislator who filed a lawsuit against God has gotten something he might not have expected: a response. One of two court filings from "God" came Wednesday under otherworldly circumstances, according to John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court in Omaha. "This one miraculously appeared on the counter. It just all of a sudden was here _ poof!" Friend said. State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha sued God last week, seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty for making terroristic threats, inspiring fear and causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." Chambers, a self-proclaimed agnostic who often criticizes Christians, said his filing was triggered by a federal lawsuit he considers frivolous. He said he's trying to makes the point that anybody can sue anybody. Not so, says "God." His response argues that the defendant is immune from some earthly laws and the court lacks jurisdiction. It adds that blaming God for human oppression and suffering misses an important point. "I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you," according to the response, as read by Friend. There was no contact information on the filing, although St. Michael the Archangel is listed as a witness, Friend said. A second response from "God" disputing Chambers' allegations lists a phone number for a Corpus Christi law office. A message left for that office was not immediately returned Thursday. Attempts to reach Chambers by phone and at his Capitol office Thursday were unsuccessful. ___ Associated Press Writer Anna Jo Bratton in Omaha contributed to this report. |

It figures that God would represent Himself - what are the chances of having any lawyers in heaven?

No lawyers in heaven? Does that mean Satan could get plenty of legal representation?

Sorry, the no lawyers in heaven comment kind of offended me. My Godmother is a lawyer and she's a good one. Not all lawyers are bad, snakey people. I'm sorry, but I don't like it when people trash lawyers. Call me overly sensitive, but that's how I feel.

HAHA! Sorry, Molly, but the run-on jokes about lawyers are not based in fact. Even lawyers enjoy them. |

Lighten up, Molly. If it has reached the point where people can't even make lawyer jokes without the fear of offending someone, it's time to declare humour officially dead. Are we supposed to refrain from making politician jokes, because there are some good politicians? Perhaps we should stop making drummer jokes because there are many intelligent, musically-minded, multi-instrumental drummers out there? You've given me permission, so here goes: You're overly sensitive. |

I need to apologize about me getting upset about the lawyer jokes. I guess I just don't like it when I see them because of my godmother. She has helped me through some hard times in the past and she has been very accomidating to my needs. She's a very good lawyer and I get a bit of my feathers ruffled when I hear some lawyer jokes. Sorry about that. I do find some pretty funny and I know my godmother laughs at them. But there are some that get to me. Okay, abck to the subject at hand. |
