If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

Oh. My. God!

Legal case against God dismissed (bbc)
*sigh*
Another post that can only begin with a heavy sigh.
So, between cases about abandoned children, apparently judges in Nebraska end up deciding cases against god. I'm not sure whose god, but I suppose we can assume its the generic stand-in Christian god. (Though I'll bet the case wouldn't have been so easily dismissed if it were against Allah...)

The reason this case was dismissed is not because god doesn't exist. It was not because the 'plaintiff' is more nuts than a squirrels nest. No, it was because they didn't have an address to serve papers to.

I like the 'plaintiffs' point on this: So, since you have acknowledged gods existence you must also acknowledge his omniscience. Because this god they speak of sees and knows everything, he is aware of this trial. Because he is aware of this trial, he has been served the appropriate papers.

Do you think God had Johnny Cochran at his side through these troubling times? If the glove does not fit, you must acquit!

And there's also room for a civil lawsuit joke here somewhere. ... Perhaps pain and suffering for not being born into a wealthier family? Perhaps damages for not intervening and having Bush die in a coked out car accident in his youth? Hmmmm.... The concept of suing God...

THIS is whyipaytaxes.
