From the NY Daily News: You can't sue God!

No praying on the Almighty! Judge tosses suit against God

The Lord has one less thing to worry about.

A Nebraska judge tossed out a state senator's lawsuit against God, ruling the Almighty can't be sued because his heavenly address is a bit out of reach.

"There can never be service effectuated on the named defendant," Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk wrote in his decision on Tuesday.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers sought a permanent injunction against the Holy One to prevent him from unleashing natural disasters that cause "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

The Omaha senator, who doesn't have "an atom of religion" in his body, said he decided to target the Lord to prove a point that "every lawsuit must be allowed to be filed."

His suit was prompted by two attempts by the Nebraska Legislature to limit "frivolous lawsuits."

Chambers, who is planning to appeal, said courts already acknowledge God's existence by invoking His name during oaths, so He doesn't need to be served.

"The court must recognize the consequences of that acknowledgment - that God is all-knowing," Chambers said. "God does have actual notice."

with blessings

A lot has happened since I last checked in:
- My grandfather, 96, had a heart attack. He's up and making trouble but we were quite scared and worried. Still are.
- Wendy and I finished another teacher year.
- We renewed our vows at the Church of the Ascension in NYC and partied with friends and family.
- We moved from The Bronx to Astoria, Queens.
- We spent three weeks in Ecuador, traveling and visiting with family. We also had a reception with family down there.
- We traveled to Nebraska and had a renewal of vows and great reception with family and friends.
- My good friend Adam came out to represent the NYC crowd (and in the process discovered that, yes, there are Jews in the midwest. A whole lot of them).

I'm currently in Bellevue, Nebraska resting a bit. Wendy and I are incredibly blessed to have had the chance to vow and re-vow before friends and family around the world. Each of us have doubled the number of people we call family and for that we are grateful.

I'll have limited access to the internet until I get it installed in NYC so this blog may go silent for a while. In the meantime, I recommend Uncle Barry's blog. Enjoy!
