Romanian prisoner sues God

[emad]

ATHENS, October 18 (RIA Novosti) - A prisoner in a Romanian jail is suing God, Greek state television reported from Bucharest Tuesday.

"God received different material valuables from me, as well as prayers in exchange for promises of a better life. In reality, this did not happen - I found myself in the devil's hands," the plaintiff said.

The convict is serving 20 years in the west Romanian city of Timisoara. He apparently blames God for the troubles in his life and wants God brought to account for failing to fulfill the commitments He undertook and for taking bribes.

The plaintiff said that when he had been baptized in childhood, he concluded a contract with God that had legal effect - God was supposed to protect him from evil.

1. HA! Brilliant...

The problem is, if he wins the suit, how does he coerce God into paying him?

3. The Almighty's maybe has some smart lawyers, working out

the compensation evasion bit.

7. Wasn't this an episode of Ally McBeal?

A terminally ill child wanted to do the same thing. Wouldn't God's existence have to be definitively proved first?

8. yeah and trial by a jury of peers would be a trick too.

not to mention the subpoena and a witness who could change the evidence into wine or water or loaves of fish.
