    Nebraska State Senator sues God.[^] Well this definitely opens up some problems for a few folks. What if this guy wins, that would do away with the idea of atheism. If you can sue someone and win then that person or deity must exist, right!?

      Why? There's no jurisdiction.

        I dont know, if we can elect a dead man, perhaps he doesn't have to exist to sue him...

          Nope, I think you need to get another example. This doesn't work: 1) After his death there was not enough time to remove his name. 2) If elected it would be his wife not him 3) I think his wife killed him so she could serve 4) Trying to pull a sympathy card of a dead man to win is just wrong, if not a little nasty. 5) You shouldn't use your parents as an example that way:laugh:

                      I am willing to bet you are atheistic in regards to all other religions besides your favorite one, and I bet you are even skeptical of their magic stories. The only difference between you and Atheists (besides intelligence and typing skills) is that they are that way towards all religions.

                            So you believe that Mohammad magically ascended into heaven? That Thor had a hammer that could cause thunder? If I remember correctly, Yahweh is not too fond of polytheists, and he has a special place for them.

                              The court will punt, and claim it has no jurisdiction. Neither athiests nor the religious will "win" anything here, but we will get to prove that, once more, Lawyers will do anything for a buck, and politicians are idiots.

                                    So you believe that Mohammad magically ascended into heaven? That Thor had a hammer that could cause thunder? If I remember correctly, Yahweh is not too fond of polytheists, and he has a special place for them.

                                    You are trying in corporate all of the stories and all religions into one question. And that is not what I said. You are also trying to get me to say I am something I am not. I am not a polytheist. Please try again later.

                                      No, actually one has to do with knowledge; the other with belief. So the two can be combined: Gnostic Theists know God exists so they believe in him. Agnostic Theists don't know if God exists but believe in him anyway. Gnostic Atheists know God doesn't exist so they don't believe in him. Agnostic Atheists don't God if God exists but they don't believe in him.

                                        The court will punt, and claim it has no jurisdiction. Neither athiests nor the religious will "win" anything here, but we will get to prove that, once more, Lawyers will do anything for a buck, and politicians are idiots.
