How will God be served? and who will be his Dream Team in his defense?
OMAHA, Neb -- State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. The lawsuit accuses God "of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent." It says God has caused "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like." http://www.ketv.com/news/14133442/detail.html |

I think the Westboro Baptist Church will be donating their legal team for His defense.

My first thought was a white wine, but he might go better with a red? Actually, he would be easy to serve, he's everywhere! Same with appearing too! I'd be standing by with a fire extinguisher if the hearing is held indoors. |

He is a good man for doing this in my book.. I believe our system is good and can also be a joke if exploited to many exploit so he is looking to fix it.

Presumedly he is suing the God of the Old Testament or a non-god, because he has not a shred of evidence to stand on in regards to prevailing in a suit against the God of the New Testament. Once God sent his Son, Jesus, to show us the way to righteousness, His own wrath upon mankind ceased. God doesn't take lives, He doesn't kill babies, He doesn't cause people to fall off of tall buildings, but what He created, heaven, the earth and its nature, and man himself, do those things. God does respond to prayers which ask for good things though, and he does have his angels doing their good deeds too, so I suppose He could become sued for conspiring and colluding to do good, good which only promotes and honors innocence.

God did create the heavens and the earth, and He did create life, and later man. And so the word "evolution" does fit with all of that. And Darwin's theory of evolution does not, in and of itself, exclude God's hand in that matter of how evolution itself was managed by Him, and how man eventually became created by God from nothing more than a lump of clay, but instead actually proves God did all of that. |

You mean there are two Gods? What ever happened to monotheism? Or is it something like the "Holy Trinity" -- something nobody can logically understand? But if there's only two, would that make it the Dynamic Duo? Wait, that was Batman and Robin, wasn't it.  I think I'd better stay an agnostic. It's less confusing than trying to comprehend all this arcane theology. ...gjd |

Man benefits from Jesus, not nature. However nature can indirectly benefit from Jesus' presence via good things happening due to His presence in peoples' hearts, vs. the bad things that can happen to nature with His not being in the hearts of certain peoples (e.g. nuclear winter). God made nature, of course. And earthquakes are part of nature. And man can obviously negatively affect nature (like through deforestation, etc.). So perhaps with some events of nature it is man who sets the scene for the occurrence bad natural events (like with our current climate change issues). |

No, the same singular God of ours was present during the times of our Old Testament as he is now present during the times of our New Testament. There is only one God, as it has always been. God, however, did try to manage man of the Old Testament using tools like fire and brimstone. But once he finally sent His Son to us, that act freed us to fulfill our own destinies through following the path laid out for us by Jesus, meaning that at that point the fire and brimstone ceased, and the following of our spirit-filled hearts began. |

there's no evidence that the god of the bible created anything. And as for killing babies, that Yahweh character is a Master of baby killing. Yahweh had no problem killing women either. And of course, Jesus' so-called 'sacrifice' was nothing of the sort.
A soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save his buddies has sacrificed far more than Jesus ever did. The Jesus story is nothing more than a rehash of pagan human sacrifices to appease an angry god. And what's with that whole ritualistic cannibalism thing? Wow - 'communion' indeed.... Serve god? Sue god? It's hard to decide which is the more absurd of the two.....  |

We are the captains of our own destinies, there's absolutely no aruging that. As for me, I choose to steer my own destiny-craft along a certain course while doing so around storms and hazards encountered along the way towards a certain place (vs. my letting an unattended helm teamed with unattended sails steer it towards who knows where for me, or my not putting sails aloft at all and simply letting the tides push and pull my craft of destiny towards wherever it might eventually end up, which very well might be right onto a shoal, and perhaps sooner rather than much later too). |

Guns: With some fava beans and a fine chianti?
Finally, someone grabbed the opening I left them. Good job! Sac: “.....so he's an absent landlord.....” Boy, that gives a whole new meaning to ‘Tenant at Will’! “just how does nature benefit fm jesus?” You don’t know how bad it could be without Him. “earthquakes don't know jesus...” I am sure that you empirical data on this ‘fact’. |
