Nebraska Appeals Court Dismisses Suit Against God

AP yesterday reported that the Nebraska Court of Appeals has dismissed a lawsuit filed by former state Senator Ernie Chambers against God, seeking an injunction to stop His causing, death destruction and terror through various natural disasters. Last October, a Douglas County (NE) trial judge dismissed to suit because God had not been served with process. (See prior posting.) Chambers appealed arguing that since God is all-knowing, defendant has notice of the lawsuit. Now the Court of Appeals has vacated the judgment saying that courts will not decide abstract questions or hypothetical or fictitious issues.
