NEWS FLASH:
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.

I find it weird that God made people smart enough to "know" he doesn't exist, yet not smart enough to find a better use of their time than to waste their time trying to share knowledge they believe everyone already has.

hi Cookie, you utilize the occasion of oxygen. We breathe it in and there have been adequate assessments to appreciate that without oxygen and nitrogen interior the main dazzling proportions we'd die. We have faith in it by way of fact we adventure it. we don't desire a scientist to let us know approximately oxygen by way of fact we exeperience it for ourselves - all scientists have achieved is supply it a label. you assert we've a million motives to have faith in God, i think of you're exagerrating and none of them are conclusive evidence - all of them require 'faith' and the definition of religion is which you will not prepare its existence. The Bible says that salvation calls for faith - in case you may desire to coach the existence of God you does not desire faith and then that would desire to surely stuff up the Bible. pondering the DNA of human beings and apes is ninety 9% the comparable that does look fairly compelling - no rely if God set the ball in action as regards evolution we are able to probably in no way understand for specific and that's why i'm an agnostic - by way of fact evolution would not answer all my question yet then neither does faith. You call Atheists Lazy and ignorant and that i could say that i understand somewhat some christians the two lazy and ignorant and not prepared to pursue 'truthfully' what the medical findings are providing. permit me ask you something - do you come across severely and analytically the findings of technology or a you blindly and lazily hiding in the back of your church leaders, who've their jobs to guard? while you're - then what could you have achieved whilst Galileo suggested that the earth replaced into not the midsection of the universe? could you have wanted to kill him too like the church leaders did on the time? I advise which you open your innovations to seek for out the certainty anyplace which could lead on. Your final question is Whats an excellent reason to not have faith in god? permit me say - that for some human beings we could like evidence of his existence and as I surely have already suggested that's not obtainable by way of fact the beginning place of christianity is faith in a God you may not prepare exists. the controversy isn't approximately laziness or lack of understanding yet approximately faith and in seek of the certainty. regards Mike D 290911

not at all. If one posits that a monotheistic god actually existed and had taken a part in creating us, then logically he/she/it wants us to use the brains he/she/it gave us to explore the world, the puzzles and mysteries, that he/she/it left for us.
therefore, any discouragement from such an endeavor of inquiry is not a prohibition by such a god, but rather by people attempting to use such a concept to control and manipulate others.

No- I find it weird that people can't figure out that according to that religion and the way it is taught in today's society, the only ones going to heaven are the ones who follow blindly without question (or one shred of physical evidence)... leaving the smartest of the bunch who find their own way to Satan. You know its funny- most people who will believe in something they have no proof for are referred to as gullible unless religion is in question... religion is the ONLY exception for this definition, and only to religious folks.
I find that hilarious, actually.

People have their own opinion about God. He gives us a choice either you're for him or you're against him,simple as that.They know he exists or else they wouldn't say he didn't.You have to know about him in order to have an opinion.To me,he exists,if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here.No one would.

Ok you just said that GOD made us in such a way that we can;t know that he doesn't exist. Do you realize that your assumption that "God made us" implies that GOD exists?
