God Got Himself a Lawyer

I posted a week or so ago about Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers' lawsuit of God for "terrorizing" humanity with threats of death, destruction, and eternal discomfort. I jokingly suggested that God needed a cheap lawyer to represent him.

Low and behold, my call has been answered. Eric Perkins, an attorney from Texas, has answered the challenging lawsuit with a responding defense. He said was an exercise akin to "What Would Jesus Do" because he just wondered what he thought God would say in his defense. His legal filing rejects Chamber's claims that God should be brought under jurisdiction in Davis County because he is omnipresent. Perkins contends that God cannot be held under authority by any human court any more that the wind, rain, or sun could. He also stated that God cannot be blamed for "terroristic" actions because mankind has brought calamity on themselves by ignoring clearly posted warnings.

A second defense brief appeared on the court's desk, but no one knows where it came from. It seemed to just "drop out of heaven" and it claims to be filed by God and has Michael the Arch angle as the witness.

Only in America.
