God is an Absentee Landlord
Ah, see, now this is exactly the type of lunacy that gives me the needed inspiration to kickstart my badly neglected blog. It seems that in Romania, a lawsuit against God was dropped when the defendant failed to respond to His/Her/Its summons:
The complaint was filed by Pavel Mircea, 40, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for murder but took God to court for not keeping his part of the baptism arrangement and failing to protect him from Satan’s influence.(snip)
According to Mircea, the Romanian Orthodox Church was a direct representative of God in Romania and should therefore compensate him for the alleged damage. He said: “By the act of baptism I concluded a legally binding contract with God and he was supposed to protect me from evil. But he did not fulfil his contractual obligations – I found myself in the hands of the devil.”
The court spent two years trying to find God’s address, but has now closed the case after concluding that the defendant could not be summoned for a hearing.

This is fantastic. It shows extraordinary creativity and courage and I, for one, am inspired. In honor of Mr. Mircea, I plan on filing suit in small claims court against one Jesus H. Christ, on the grounds that he did, willingly and with malice aforethought, turn all of my beer into wine.
This will not stand!
