So Help Me, Me!

God received a legal reprieve when a judge tossed a lawsuit because the Almighty wasn’t properly served notice. Seems Heaven has an unlisted address.

Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers sought a restraining order against the Supreme Being for making “terrorist threats” as well as as for inciting death, destruction and disaster upon Earth’s inhabitants, according to an Associated Press report.

However, Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk ruled that because the Divine Defendant cannot be served notice, the suit must be dismissed with prejudice.

Chambers, a law school grad who never took the bar exam, countered that if God is, in fact, all knowing then He’s aware of the suit and, thus, legally has been served. And, because the Lord is omnipresent, He has access to the court proceedings.

Chambers says he filed the liturgical litigation to prove a point that all persons, even the Holiest One, should have equal access to the courts.

However, one wonders if God legally can be sworn in as a defense witness as He must vow to Himself that He will be truthful when questioned (although, that should be a given).

Perhaps, God should follow the example of George Burns (and screen writer Larry Gelbart) who created such a scene in the movie Oh, God! when Burns as God, testified for John Denver’s character and swore to tell the whole truth “so help me, Me!”
