Wonderful! It's got me imagining a story about some poor schlep who works as a process server, and has been assigned the task of nofifying God of the lawsuit. What a cool scene it would be if he succeeded, eh?
Schlep: So dude...do you know where I could find God around here? I've been looking for him for some time. God: What have you been looking for Me...uh... I mean, Him for? Schlep: I want to serve him. God: I just *love* that in a seeker. Ok, I'm God. Schlep: Cool. [ hands him a legal envelope ] Consider yourself served. God: Shit. I *knew* I shouldn't have given those peons Free Will...it's been nothing but a pain in the ass ever since. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Hugo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Legal case against God dismissed. > > A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because > the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served. > > The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who > said he might appeal against the ruling. > > He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction > and terrorisation" caused by God. > > Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have > access to the defendant for a case to proceed. > > "Given that this court finds that there can never be service > effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed > with prejudice," Judge Polk wrote in his ruling. > > Mr Chambers cannot refile the suit but may appeal. > > 'God knows everything' > > Mr Chambers sued God last year.
