Just back in 2007, a Nebraska state senator, Ernie Chambers sued God to court. Keep reading to find out why he did and what happened in the court.
Ernie Chambers was born on July 10, 1937 (83 years), his father was a pastor for the Church of God in Christ. He earned his bachelors degree in history in 1959 and finished law school in same University in 1979.
He is the first African American in Nebraska history to run for governor. He's also the only African American to run for the senate. He served from 1971 to 200o and again from 2013 till date.
In 2007 when he sued God, Chamber's lawsuit sought a permanent injunction ordering God to stop certain harmful acts and also the making of terroristic threats.
According to Ernie Chambers, the defendant (God) is guilty of causing floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, plagues, devastating droughts, wars, birth defects and so on.
In August of 2008, Chambers and God got a date in court, judge Marlon Polk the presiding judge. An empty table was reserved for God and God's attorney. The judge dismissed the lawsuit because God's home address was not listed which made it impossible to summon him, therefore the case could not move forward.
Chambers however, said that since God is omniscient, he doesn't need to be served because he would have known.
Chambers hoped to make a political point with his lawsuit, that a court should be required to hear a case, no matter how frivolous it might be. "Anyone can sue who they choose, even God".
