Man sues God

Donald Drusky, of McKeesport, Pa. (which happens to be my mother’s hometown) specifically wanted God “to grant him the guitar-playing skills of famous guitarists, along with resurrecting his mother and his pet pigeon.”

Suing God, and perhaps even winning, would seem to be the easy part. Collecting payment is what’s hard.

When Ernie Chambers sued God, he wanted a permanent injunction to prevent God from performing "deleterious actions," saying God has caused "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like," and he wanted Him stopped.

A nice touch was also naming all federal judges as defendants, when a federal judge was going to rule on the case.
