'God' Gets an Attorney in Lawsuit

LINCOLN, Neb. — The mystery of one response to a lawsuit against God has been solved. Eric Perkins, an attorney in Corpus Christi, Texas, said Friday he filed a response to the lawsuit from Nebraska State Sen. Ernie Chambers. "It's kind of a turn on 'What would Jesus do?'" Perkins said. "I thought to myself, "what would God say?"

"Defendant denies that this or any court has jurisdiction ... over Him any more than the court has jurisdiction over the wind or rain, sunlight or darkness," according to Perkins' response.

As for Chambers' contention that God made terroristic threats, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization," Perkins wrote that God "contends that any harm or injury suffered is a direct and proximate result of mankind ignoring obvious warnings."

Perkins, who said he is a Christian, faxed one of at least two responses to Chambers' lawsuit. He said while he hopes the lawsuit was just a stunt by Chambers, "maybe his timing has something to do with world affairs. I'd hate to be that person who sat back and did nothing."

1. Jeebus. This is going to be an entertaining circus (NOT).

If a all-powerful, omnipotent god really needed a lawyer, wouldn't he just raise Johnny Cochran from the dead? Better yet, Clarence Darrow?

2. I'm on God's side I hope Perkins is a good attorney. n/t

3. What God needs is an accountant. He's always broke.

At least that's what the preachers tell the sheep when passing the basket for handouts.

I heard the condo's in heaven have been hit pretty hard by dropping real estate prices.

4. !!

As for Chambers' contention that God made terroristic threats, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization," Perkins wrote that God "contends that any harm or injury suffered is a direct and proximate result of mankind ignoring obvious warnings."

I thought this quote was genius. Isn't that basically what KKKristians say about Islam?

5. I love Ernie all to hell but since they passed term limits (just for him) I think he's

been looking for a really grand exit, a genuine gran finale.

This is just classic Ernie Chambers x 10 to the 24th power.
