LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The defendant in a state senator's lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He's everywhere.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he's trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.

Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused "fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes."

He's seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.

1. Uhm... Senator... what happens if, in the course of this lawsuit...

... the courts hold that God does not exist?

I'm just saying...

Beware of unintended consequences.

We should be so lucky.

3. My comedy troupe wrote and performed this as a sketch back in 1991.

Unfortunately, it was one we never taped for our TV show. Funny how life imitates art.

We are through the looking glass people.

5. Why did he do this?

I've never understood Chambers' reason for doing this, can someone explain?
