Had to blog about this.
I’ve actually got several posts ready to be typed up … like three … but this was too good to pass up.
Reading around on Foxnews.com, I came across this story about a man in Nebraska who has attempted to sue God.
That’s right. Sue God. This man is not just some dude off the street … he’s a state politician forced out of office by term limits.
The Nebraska court warned this man, Chambers, that he would need to serve whoever he sues notification papers. Chambers, an agnostic, says God knows everything … why does he need notification?
So what is Chambers suing God for? An injuction against acts of violence like tornadoes and earthquakes. The Nebraska court actually did throw it out due to previously stated notification issues.
So, I know you’re laughing, but this is an important issue to dissect. Let’s look at the philosophy behind this guy, things this action shows he believes.
First, he believes that God is the bad guy, that God is violent.
Second, he believes God needs to be stopped.
Third, he believes that a worldly government, our fine country of the USA, needs to, at the very least, make some sort of statement by setting an injunction against God.
So, fourth, he believes his ideas of morality are more important than God’s. He thinks he needs to teach God some things.
Fifth, he believes that anyone can sue anyone. I don’t know, but Chambers is probably a lawyer, based on this statement alone.
Sixth, that the State has some power beyond that of God, to at least sanction or speak out against him. This is a very UN type of response. Just say they’re bad! Hurting their self-esteem is punishment enough!
These are important things, because as strange as all this sounds, these are fundamentally communist/socialist ideas … the ultimate power of the state, the danger of the belief in God, etc.
Oh, and guess what party this guy was from … come on, you can say it. There you go. And therefore, who will he vote for in the upcoming elections, if he hasn’t already?
Oh, yeah, Obama. Change baby!
Peace.
Here’s a great opportunity to point out a contradiction. The agnostic blames God. “I don’t believe in you, and it’s your fault!”
Another contradiction. He said he’s doing this to draw attention to the fact that the poor are being ignored in the courts. They are if ex-politicians shove their cases aside with goofy lawsuits against deities that while entertaining, have no actual point.
