He's right, in a country where people can sue over their coffee being too hot (burning themselves because they were stupid enough to hold it in their lap), where people can sue when they attempt to break into a house and fall through a skylight - yes, our society it too litigious.
This, I find hilarious, and I agree with his point about too many lawsuits.
Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against he and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." He also said that God has caused "fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes" ... and he's seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.
As humorous as you and I may find this, I like the point he makes, and hope some people take it to heart, though I may be sued for saying so.
On the other hand, he's bound to be raked over the coals for this.

Actually, he's filing the lawsuit in support of the right of anyone to sue anyone, which is why he chose God.
His point is to stop the efforts of other senators who are attempting to restrict certain types of lawsuits from being filed, stating that the court doors must always be open to everyone.
I think rollo is off his rocker. He really ought to read a little closer before commenting. This is NOT about the ability to sue anyone. It is about the proclivity to do so.
God is All, by definition. Therefore, by the same definition, He cannot be sued because He is Truth and he is Right. You can sue what is Right, but it is frivolous.
The good senator is actually responding to a societal issue in which we are too litigious. Don't like what I have said? SUE ME. :)
