I wonder if perhaps the Senator has seen the movie "The Man Who Sued God" starring the hilarious Billy Connolly? Hmm.

I thought that for a lawsuit to work you had to have a legal person/entity? As far as I know, God (any flavour thereof) is not a legal entity--wouldn't that be enough to throw any and all suits against divinity(ies) out of court?

A judge has thrown out a case against God – as the Almighty doesn’t have an official address and legal papers can’t be served.

Roflmao.

A consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God’s omniscience. 'Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.'" Good point, there. As much as I hate that tax-payers' money was used for that nonsense, I have to love the idea behind it. If the Senator was trying to make a symbolic statement about the religious fanaticism in this country,* then he's an awesome change. We have far too many politicians who cater to the crazy. *And I HAVE to believe that, because an elected official can't be THAT stupid, right? Other than Bush, I mean. And Santorum. And that twit from Minnesota. And that Senator that Bill Maher interviewed in Religious who proudly said that you don't need an IQ test to be a Senator. And...oh shit. “He said: ‘The court itself acknowledges the existence of God. A consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God’s omniscience.

‘Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.’”

I think he's probably making many people get all twisted in knots and putting officials in a position where they are forced to recognise or repudiate god, all of which is kind of amusing to watch But I can't approve of the law and the courtroom being used in this way.
