Evidently there isn’t much for the State Senate in Nebraska to do, because the good Senator Ernie Chambers has filed a lawsuit against God. Yes. Go back and read that sentence again. You are not misreading it and I certainly did not mistype it.
Nebraska always struck me as a fairly conservative and hence relatively level-headed state. I suppose every once in a while someone as mentally disturbed as Ernie Chambers can get by even the most down to earth people.
Let’s forget for the moment that God is the ultimate authority on what takes place in the universe. Let’s also forget for the moment that God is neither legally nor morally bound to respond to any lawsuit by any mortal on this terrestrial sphere. We will also pretend that Chambers, by some miracle undisclosed. has not lost his mind.
Where does Chambers get the notion that it is in the public’s interest to file a frivolous lawsuit against a plaintiff that will neither show up in court of His own volition or can be forced to do so? What logical conclusion could such a lawsuit come to?
These nutjob politicians and activists will go to any length to make symbolic statements such as these. Whether it is suing God, staging “die ins” to protest the war in Iraq, or burning bras to protest “the cruel patriarchy”, one thing is clear.
It’s a shame we can’t scoop these addled masses up in front end loaders like in Soylent Green and get them off the street. Idiots like these need a steady intravenous drip of sedatives and anti-psychotic drugs
