THE STAR NEWSPAPER, WEDNESDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 2007. Page 42
SENATOR SUES GOD
Read The Star newspaper on the 19th September and you will find the most shocking and hilarious thing in your life. The Omaha State Senator is SUING GOD for causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more.
State Senator Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Chambers says that he is trying to make the point that anyone can sue anyone.
Chambers said in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”
The Senator often criticizes Christians and also said God has caused “fearsome floods... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes.” and is seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.

Is this plain stupid or just laughable? This is the first time I heard of someone suing God. Well, I am not very surprised actually. We humans have been blaming God for everything bad since the beginning of time.
The Senator was enraged over another lawsuit filed by someone who ruled out the usage of the word “rape” and “victim” in a sexual assault case. He found that frivolous so he filed his own frivolous lawsuit against non other than God Himself.
Sometimes we can’t help but to wonder why does God allow all these to happen. If God is in control, then why are there earthquakes? Why are there killer hurricanes and tornadoes? Why are there floods? Why this? Why that? Why??!!
The greatest “natural” disaster that has happened was dated back to the beginning time of creation in the days of Noah. The Great Flood seemed to almost wipe out all of creation except for the family of one man named Noah and the animals that were brought on the ark. What was the reason for God to do such a “devastating” act?
Humankind has reached the maximum level of perversion tolerable by God. Read Genesis 6:1-6 for detailed information. God was moved to bring such a radical judgment on his creation because of man himself. So who can stand before God and ask Him why did He do what He did? God did not just wake up one day and said, “Oh! I think I want to destroy My creation. So I will send rain on earth and flood the whole earth.”
It was because of humanity’s corruption that caused God to do such a radical judgment on mankind.
But let us not worry because we do not live in the hands of God who would destroy all of creation because of His Divine Judgment. For God had made a covenant, an agreement with Noah in Genesis 9:8-17 that He will not destroy all earthly life with some natural catastrophe. The sign of the covenant is the rainbow in the storm cloud. So whenever we see the rainbow in the clouds we are remembered of God’s covenant with Noah.
But why are there still so many natural disasters going on? The world was shaken by the Tsunami that hit Indonesia in 2004 (or was it 2003? I kind of forgot.) and recently there was another tsunami. Earthquakes and hurricanes continue to take lives and destroy homes, why is this happening? I can not give you the answer for this. But I do know that the time is near, the time for the Second Coming is near.
We are in no right to get angry at God for His judgment. God’s judgment on mankind is a divine and Godly Judgment unlike human judgment who judges based on human knowledge and intuition. The verse below sums up everything I have to say in this post:
Isaiah 55:8-9“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher that the earth,
so are my ways higher that your ways
and your thoughts than my thoughts.”
As for Senator Ernie Chambers, he will stand before the Almighty Judge one day, the very One whom he filed a lawsuit against. All of us will be in the heavenly court before God one day as well.
So prepare your defend... of which you have only one – Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
GOD is GOD and YOU are NOT.
