Thread Name: BS: The man who sued God
Subject: RE: BS: The man who sued God
Quite aside from that, I believe there was some case of a man in the USA (where else?) who had attempted to sue God a few years back, because his life "hadn't worked out" according to his expectations (he didn't have the job, money, house, fame, and female companionship he thought he merited). He figured the Allmighty was to blame. He managed to find a lawyer willing to represent him, and he managed to get a preliminary court hearing. Before they got down to wrestling with the thorny problem of how to get God to "appear" in court the judge threw the case out. Too bad, because they could easily have charged God with contempt of court for not showing up! ;-) Then they could have had a great old debate about whether or not God was actually present, bringing in all kinds of wonderful theological arguments, pro and con. With a little imagination on the part of the court system, this idiot who launched the suit could have been allowed to fight it all the way up to the Supreme Court, and it would have made a wonderful reality TV series too.
