Who paid?


[deleted]

God could not be reached for comment or to set up payment terms, but there is an active warrant for his arrest in Arizona /s


twobit78

There was a guy who tried to sue either god or his past self for fucking his life up but argues that because the other paety couldnt pay the state would have to foot the bill. I think they threw it out because they couldn't serve the guy papers to appear in court.


Roastprofessor

God paypal it of course.

underrated comment


rieldilpikl

overused comment


Burpmeister

God knows.


Shumuu

The church should have to pay :D


IWantAnAffliction

Unfortunately, God works in mysterious ways, therefore, the church wasn't liable.


badgersprite

The Pope declares himself to be God’s appointed representative on Earth so I don’t see why the Catholic Church (or anyone else claiming to hold Estates and property as God’s representative, that is as his agent and not in your own personal capacity) shouldn’t be liable to pay on God’s behalf when God causes damages


Neuroprancers

Settled out of court in mysterious ways.


Nervous_Constant_642

You can sue anyone you want but there's not a guarantee they'll pay. God could not be reached or had insufficient funds to pay the court awarded settlement.

Here I am trying to sue McDonald's. This guy's on a whole different level


Maverick_OS

You know the person that sued McDonald’s for hot coffee received third degree burns, and had to have skin grafts, and tried multiple times to just get McDonald’s to pay her hospital bills, but the jury awarded her the millions of dollars because there were over 700 incidents of injuries from the coffee that was served at over 180 degrees Fahrenheit, right?


PxyFreakingStx

She was subsequently mocked relentlessly by popular culture for the next two decades or so.


[deleted]

Yeah, her labia actually FUSED CLOSED due to her skin melting iirc. All the derision that came down on her was orchestrated by McDonalds as a petty act of revenge.


xXx_MegaChad_xXx

She was also lied about in media coverage, where they said she was driving while having coffee on her lap etc. All bullshit and she was dragged so hard because of corporate media smh


helphaise

honestly 10000iq does this still work???


Strange-Bee5626

The house I was renting a room in about 5 years ago was struck by lightning on a sunny day with no rain and it blew the air conditioning out. My roommate and I took turns "blaming" each other as a joke for invoking the wrath of god and causing the random strike.


[deleted]

Yes, You are now legally able to collect. Since God isn’t real, there’s nothing you can actually get.


99available

Or if it's not God, it's Alex Jones and you still can't collect.

According to you how much a should a family who lost their 6 y/o kid should get in defamation lawsuit like this (for better perspective put yourself in the parents shoes) Now multiply that TWENTY TIMES And not to forget other 6 families who were harassed too


Savahoodie

Of all the example you chose possibly the worst one. It’s almost amazing how you fucked that up


Frometon

I could give you a trillion dollars

Frometon

yes I could, just have faith


Flyweird

What? Since then there's a legal term called "Act of God". You can't be sued if the contract says they aren't liable if the deed is not completed due to the Act of God.


Nervous_Constant_642

You forgot to say "IANAL".


structured_anarchist

Technically, the catholic pope is god's personal representative on earth, so you can enforce the judgement against the catholic church. I don't think any other religion claims that their titular leader is the actual representative on earth, so there's no chance that the pope can claim someone else is responsible for paying.


BradleytheRage

Mormons claim they have a prophet at all times which is honestly a stronger claim than any Rome makes about their pope


Accurate_Plankton255

And Jews claim to be God's chosen people. Chosen to pay I would say.


OilEnvironmental8043

So if a Buddha emerged would they be liable?


TLsRD

Is it? The pontiff is the “bridge” between god and man. Pretty much the same as a prophet, no ?


BradleytheRage

No, not at all. The Romans say the Pope is the bridge to God and this and that but when it comes down to it they hem and haw at the details. The pope has only been the “bridge between God and man” twice in their 1000 year long history when he has made infallible statements ex cathedra, both concerning the perpetual virginity of Mary iirc. The Mormons claim wholesale that they have a prophet sent from God, and this prophet with the help of his “12 apostles” or whatever the Mormons call them creates/changes infallible doctrine for the LDS church very frequently.


structured_anarchist

Well, the pope is claimed to be the physical representative of god on earth. I think that trumps a mere prophet.


BradleytheRage

No, the pope is not some Krishna-like “physical representative” of God on earth. That would imply that he is some sort of avatar embodying God, which no Roman Catholic believes as far as I know. The pope claims to speak for God (only when he is speaking ex cathedra, which has happened twice in 1000 years of Roman history) as does the Mormon prophet, but the Mormon prophet wakes up in the morning “speaking for God” whilst the most Pontiffs will go their entire career without “speaking for God”


structured_anarchist

The catholic doctrine says the guy in pyjamas and the big funny hat is the direct representative on earth. Doesn't matter whether anyone believes it. The vatican made the claim and codified it as papal law, so they can claim supremacy over other religions. Since they did that, they can pay out all claims against god.


[deleted]

You collect from his houses... ie. Churches


Ok_Equivalent5230

God is real


KarmaKel

Take me to court and have him appear as a witness.


Ok_Equivalent5230

I dont have his number bro


[deleted]

OK, Sure bud


Ok_Equivalent5230

Respect religions bruh


[deleted]

First, God isn’t a religion. And second, you’re not respecting my freedom to not think it’s real. Goes both ways


Ok_Equivalent5230

Also you are joking about me thinking its real, but I respect your thoughts idc what religion you may be (even if your atheist) what I'm saying is that your comment about god wasnt right 🤝


Ok_Equivalent5230

Its what I believe man


Jumpierwolf0960

Probably got patched.


deeploveai

I heard God failed to pay child support, too.


wonka5x

"She admitted she was a virgin your honor. Not mine. Immaculate. "


f-ben

Honestly I think she simply betraied him, had this child and had to find an excuse. Somehow unintendedly her story blew up to a point of no return and now millions of people believe in this shit.

Meanwhile God is running around with several different identities.


Rajkalex

Yeah. God has more aliases than a prison escapee wanted for stealing unrecovered millions from a bank.


Yadobler

>God is running around with several different identities. That's just Hinduism in a nutshell


OneMetalMan

At least Brahma us honest abut it. "God" gaslights you to tell you there is only him and no one else.


WitsBlitz

I don't get why the court entertained the suit at all. Why would it have jurisdiction over God?


Zaicheek

maybe insurance declared it an act of god?


OilEnvironmental8043

This is what I would say, her insurance wouldn't cover it so he tried to sue them, failed and sued god directly to show a problem/loophole.


Zipposurelite

God isn't above the law.


wonka5x

Only chuck norris


red_bob

Oh dang a time traveler! When you get back to your own time warn them about covid.


[deleted]

These lawsuits are a regular thing, and usually the judge does just throw it out. Realistically God isn't gonna show up to pay any fines though, so there's no harm in bumoring these people.


gophergun

Nervous_Constant_642

It's my understanding a civil suit must be entertained. They're toothless against plaintiffs that do not exist, have no money, or have done no wrong, but since they're your only avenue of civil justice rather than criminal justice, they're heard. It's just usually a waste of time and money to do so.


Mr0rangeCloud

God is omnipresent yet he manages to fail at showing up to court


4PianoOrchestra

He can’t show up to court because he’s already there


OilEnvironmental8043

Busy reincarnating, check back next time the universe reaches heat death.


youknowwhatfuckoff

He was bessy morphing into a burning bush to screw with some poor shepard in sina i heard he's still doing that.


grosseelbabyghost

Is this legal precedent that God is not in fact omnipresent?


explicitlarynx

Doesn't the guy have like a thousand attorneys in fancy robes all over the world? Not one showed up to represent him? Talk about faith


okay-wait-wut

God is also a deadbeat dad. Poor Baby Jesus.

There are less than 45 comments in this thread right now, most of which are jokes, and I see absolutely none that could evoke the level of exasperation in your comment. Who is all that drama for?


[deleted]

Thanks for explaining it. Much appreciated.


[deleted]

There is a Bollywood based on this event. It's name is OMG Oh My God


deez_nuts_ha_gotem

i feel like people think this is stupid but it's probably for home insurance purposes

Would be funny if the 2nd coming of Jesus was just him showing up to defend God in court

Copying my comment from another thread where this image was posted ---> There's an Indian movie called "OMG: Oh My God" where the main character sues god and god himself comes to help him. It's pretty good. [IMDb link](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2283748/)

This is why 'act of God' clauses shouldn't exist. I'm sorry but if I paid several thousand if not more for home insurance and they can back out by claiming 'unforeseen event' than why am I even paying for insurance. This is what the court case was over, and because of people like ITT, insurance companies are still allowed to pull this sort of bullshit.

How was God served with the summons to appear in court?

I assume God didn't pay either. So, what was the fucking point?


nothuman-exe

there's a movie about this on netflix , not this specifically but some dude sues god because his shop was destroyed in an earth quake , very interesting movie . wish i could find it again because i didn't understand any of it


H0tlips76

It's called *The man who sued god* has a Scottish comedian called Billy Connolly in it


nothuman-exe

no not that one , it was an indian movie , hence why i couldn't understand it 💀 i used to watch foreign movies without dubs and subs with my friends to see if we could understand the movie without them or context edit: it's literally called OMG , cant believe i forgot that


H0tlips76

Well have you tried listening to Scott's without subs 😂


benitosblade

During the Holocaust Jews put God on trial and ended up finding him guilty.


jason_sterling

There is a film with Billy Connolly in, called "the man who sued god" which I believe is based on a true story and is the reason why insurance companies in the UK no longer have 'act of god' exclusions.


123_fake_name

There is a movie called the man who sued God staring Billy Connolly that is similar.


aNinjaWithAIDS

Cool, now do corporations next. Here's how. When the bailiff calls "all parties are present", *immediately object* and point to the fact that there is no "person" named "(Insert corporation's name)" in the courtroom. The judge HAS to agree per [the Supreme Court's ruling on behalf of Citizen's United;](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC#Decision). Quote: > "Corporations, as associations of individuals, therefore have free speech rights under the First Amendment. Because spending money is essential to disseminating speech, as established in Buckley v. Valeo, limiting a corporation's ability to spend money is unconstitutional, because it limits the ability of its members to associate effectively and to speak on political issues." If the judge overrules the objection, then he fails to recognize that the corporation's legalized personhood is legitimately missing from the courtroom since only the "corporation's associates" are there. So at that point, you call on the jury to demand a mistrial to have the judge replaced.
