TimesOnline wrote:Romanian prosecutors have closed a case involving a lawsuit against God because it could not summon the defendant after two years of legal proceedings. 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. A court in the western city of Timisoara accepted the lawsuit and initiated legal proceedings.
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.â€
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.
The decision might prove a useful precedent when that form arrives asking who was driving your car when it was photographed doing 60 in a 30mph zone. “It was God. Address? No idea.†Unless, of course, you’re Richard Dawkins...
What are your thoughts?
