What do You think?

In the movie version ,it is a comedy but it raised certain issues about the existence of God or who should be liable ?

If any disasters were to happened here , some people would call it an ‘Act of God!” Is it because of God or is it because of the greed of men who rape, pillage and destroy the Earth .They shall reap what they sowed


Can we humans sue God ? Yes! You can sue God in your puny courts but how will you enforce your judgments and collect your dues? Even judges on this Earth have to answer to a higher authorities and the final arbiter of life is God.

The judge in that Nebraska court threw out the case because it could not send the summons to God's address.

If any court in this world were to come out with a judgement against God, it woul be made a laughing stock .I think the judge will not have any sleep once he judged against God..LOL!

Which God or Gods’ will you sue?How would you know which Gods is responsible for the disaster? How can you prove it?

Maybe ,it is for the publicity but every man will face God one day for all his actions. Whether you are an atheist or non believer, everyone will face God in the final judgments.
Believe it or not is your decisions.

No democratic and fair court would decide such an issue and any suit against God is frivolous and a waste of the courts time.

Maybe, if you live in a third world dictatorial regime and where everything is tainted , the courts there can made any decisions as they wished and enforced any verdict or judgements on the followers of that God.

The worse you can do is to blame God but to sue God? That is an exercise in futility…Anyone suing God ought to have his head examined.

In litigation rich US and U.K, everyone can sue everyone , even God is not spared…
