Politician Sues God

for causing "fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes." He claims God has made threats against his constituents and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." And he wants a permanent injunction issued against Him. The suit was filed locally, because the being he's suing is perceived to be everywhere.

WHich is missrepresentative, the article goes on to say that he is doing this not becuase of religion but becuase of all the frivoulous lawsuits filed in the US today.

No. He's making the point that some law suits are simply not worth the time of the US Judiciary.

There are more importnat matters.

For God's sake, when you have Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown handing down decisions on TELEVISION you start to see that the courts aren't really taken very seriously.

He's making a good point, I think, and doing it in a very ingenious way. Some of his statements in the lawsuit are quite funny, actually.
