Uh... it's an interesting point, I... guess?

I dunno, he should have done something different. He says the point was to show that anyone can sue anyone, I'm guessing to show how ridiculous some lawsuits are. My impression before reading his intention was that he as a wacko that doesn't like religion, and wanted to make the point "why does God do all these things to us then?"

It's not even original.  That movie is actually decent.

He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction and terrorisation" caused by God.

Ummm..what's his evidence?

I guess I am the only one who found it all amusing.

[Cobra951]

Oh, it is.  The premise of the movie, which is similar, used insurance companies as evidence that God made bad things happen.  They use "act of God" as a reason not to pay many claims.

I do, in a way. I'm just always trying to extrapolate some greater question from everything. One of my many flaws.

As an aside, has anyone seen "Religulous"? I haven't seen it but it seems like it's the obvious tie-in at the moment.

No, I haven't seen it. Mainly because I don't feel like dedicating two hours to retreading old ground.  I'll probably watch the best clips of it at some point though because I do like Bill Maher, but it's an old and tired concept.

... because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.

Haha THAT was the reason it was thrown out?

Still, t'was amusing
