Senator Ernie Chambers took out a lawsuit against God. He claims God has made terroristic threats, caused mass murders, and laughed about all the mayhem he’s committed. Chambers claims the reason for the lawsuit is to show that anyone can take out a lawsuit on anyone else no matter how ridiculous the claim. I think he made his point.
Chambers has done some crazy things but I think this tops it all. How is God supposed to pay whatever the court may reward him? How is God supposed to hire a lawyer? How is anyone supposed to subpoena God? I think Chambers could have picked an easier target to make his point.
He is right about ridiculous lawsuits though. Like the girl who sued McDonalds for becoming obese. Lately people have been suing over any and every wrong doing. No one wants to take responsibility for their own actions. No, it couldn’t be my fault for eating at McDonalds three meals a day every day, it must be Micky D’s fault for putting too much sugar in their food.
I think lately in our society people are too quick to blame others. None of us wants anything to be our fault. Gone are the days where the “buck stops here”. However outrageous Chambers’ lawsuit is it has made us stop and think. Yes, suing God is pretty ridiculous, but then again so is suing a lawyer for using the word rape in a trial. If not at God, where will it end?
