The Defendant Who Died Philosophy Politics

A Nebraska state senator has decided to "sue God" in court, making all kinds of wild accusations against Him. Ostensibly, he's trying to make "a point about frivolous lawsuits," but the sound bite I heard with him on the radio puts the lie to that. He said, with a microphone in his face, that Christians are using the courts to push a "bigoted" agenda. I guess he hasn't looked in the mirror lately.

But the stickiest thing about it is, wasn't God already tried and executed 2,000 years ago? How can Chambers bring Him up on charges again?

Or maybe Chambers is just another anti-Christian twit who refuses to recognize God's triumph over death, against which even Chambers himself is powerless.
