The inhabitants of plant Earth often faces wrath of nature, in the form of floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, diseases, wars etc. And that's why Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit against the God! He sought an injunction ordering God to stop causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants".
Mr Chambers, 71, Nebraska's longest serving state senator, said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts in response to proposals to prohibit the filing of frivolous lawsuits.
But, Douglas County district court judge ruled that it is not possible, to sue the God as he has no address! According to law a plaintiff must have access to the defendant and be able to serve papers on him or her for a lawsuit to go ahead. So, the lawsuit against God has been dismissed. Now, Mr. Chambers has 30 days to decide whether to appeal.
