LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- A legislator who filed a lawsuit against God has gotten something he might not have expected: a response.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha said he sued God last week to make a point about frivolous lawsuits.
One of two court filings from "God" came Wednesday under otherworldly circumstances, according to John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court in Omaha.
"This one miraculously appeared on the counter. It just all of a sudden was here -- poof!" Friend said.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha sued God last week, seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty for making terroristic threats, inspiring fear and causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."
Chambers, a self-proclaimed agnostic who often criticizes Christians, said his filing was triggered by a federal lawsuit he considers frivolous. He said he's trying to makes the point that anybody can sue anybody.
Not so, says "God." His response argues that the defendant is immune from some earthly laws and the court lacks jurisdiction.
It adds that blaming God for human oppression and suffering misses an important point.
"I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you," according to the response, as read by Friend.
There was no contact information on the filing, although St. Michael the Archangel is listed as a witness, Friend said.
A second response from "God" disputing Chambers' allegations lists a phone number for a Corpus Christi law office. A message left for that office was not immediately returned Thursday.
Attempts to reach Chambers by phone and at his Capitol office Thursday were unsuccessful

Ernie Chambers is a racist fruit loop. I don't understand why people give him the time of day. I also don't understand why CNN would post such stupid stuff. Maybe somebody should sue Ernie for filing his frivolous lawsuit
Too true. I know every time I used to see him at the police department some white officer had done something wrong. Not only is he racist he's a complete nut. And he has no respect for anyone. (Obviously, I mean, if you'd sue God...) I love the way he always attends Unicameral meetings in a sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off. Very professional...
You know if he were white he wouldn't be doing what he's doing or dressing the way he dresses or ........oh, he's not worth the space to complain. Just wait until he dies and finds out that God is white! lol Then who is he going to complain to?? lol
Love ya. Miss
Egad.
People are nuts.
