… could someone not only consider suing god but actually manage to get a judge to hear the case.
Senator Ernie Chambers of Nebraska brought a law suit against god to get a permanent injunction to prevent “death, destruction and terrorisation” caused by him.
He says he has done it to expose the ridiculous legal system in America that lets you sue anyone for anything and may appeal against the judge’s decision to thrown out the case because god has no address so papers can’t be served on him. Senator Chambers says that the judge has acknowledged the existence of god which means they accept that he’s omnipotent and therefore knows about the law suit.
And this is supposed to be the most powerful country in the world?

Is this a movie with Billy connolly too?
I think it is a good thing, it keeps some lawyers away from real people and it is less troublesome than culling them
I too remember the Connolly film, called The Man who Sued God.
It exposed the sham of insurance, who used ‘an act of god’ as a reason not to pay out, against the various religious leaders who claimed to be ‘God’s representatives on Earth’ (to whom the papers were served).
A really good film, one which I would recommend anyone to watch, but especially this lawyer before his appeal.
