Suing God
I found this story interesting... I especially liked the fact that in the photo chosen for this story, Chamber's head appears to be framed in a halo (which is actually an electric fan). And I would note in response to "God" that while wars are attributable to free will, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. are more often than not beyond our ability to control. (The fact that God doesn't step in to stop genocide or torture because he apparently believes that the killers' free will and their ability to carry out their free will is more important than giving the victims the ability to avoid being killed is something that I will not get into any further than I just did on this particular post.)
I initially thought when I read this story, "This guy chose a pretty clever and amusing lawsuit to make, and he certainly has a point about frivolous lawsuits." Then I found out what lawsuit he was protesting. The victim of an alleged rape was ordered by a judge not to use words such as "rape", "sexual assault", "sexual assault kit", etc., and was suing to be able to use those words. It's clear to me that, even to someone who might agree with the judge's decision, this is not a frivolous lawsuit. What the hell is wrong with you, Sen. Chambers? You're making other nonbelievers look bad.
