Thought experiment - suing God

[4x4Tyke]

Inspired by this is a work fiction, but wondered if the experts could try this case as a thought experiment based on real law.

If it was possible, all the gods would already be bankrupt, and not only of ideas.

[akirk]

you can sue
you might even win
but can you collect?!

[andburg]

could you get a high court writ to take good from his premises? after all aren't all churches "god's house"

[esxste]

Er which god would you sue?

[TartanPaint]

The wealthiest one, of course.

All lawyers are spawn of Satan, he'd have to defend himself

If the defendant is omnipotent, then surely the result is inevitable.

Be interesting to see if the defendant turned up and on whose book he swore.

I think the case should brighten the days of the stenographer:

"My Lord, no, not you, I meant the judge. Just sit on your bloody cloud and keep quiet.

"My Lord Judge, Exhibit #18002, a pillow made of salt. If I might explain, it would appear that there was a misprint in Exhibit #1, the book we have referred to a number of times. The pillow is complainant eight billion and forty two. You will see her listed as Mrs Lot after the occupants of Sodom, circa 800 persons, and Gomorrah, about the same number. You will remember that these complainants were removed from court after My Lord - not you, the judge - complained of the smell of rotten eggs. Mr Lot was the guy you sentenced to 14 years for complicity in the attempted rape of underage girls, the offence being aggravated by their close relationship to Mr L."
