A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator's lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn't properly served due to his unlisted home address.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God.

Chambers has said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

A Peek into the Creationism Museum (a.k.a. God is Science Museum)

What does $27 million, a band of religious zealots, and a blatant denial of science get you in 2008? The Genesis Creation Museum located in Kentucky. This isn't a church. Its a museum that is presenting ideas of creationism as science. Yes, they actually present history as a fact of creation from god. Evolution? Terrible! Dinosaurs? Well, they lived along-side humans. Mass media? They have it out to destroy us all.

The museum has been open for a few years now, but I recently came across this article on the Daily Kos from last year that has some great images of the exhibits. I got a kick out of how the secular world is depicted -- a trashy graffiti-ridden neighborhood. Read the article yourself and check out the photos. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/6/9/105322/6744

I found this a very interesting site. Someone (a comic book geek!) organized some of the most well known comic book super heroes and organized them based on their religious background. Superman a Medothist? The Hulk is a Catholic? Robin is Jewish? Batman is a Episcopalian?

Discover the faith behind the masks. Interesting stuff. Check it out at http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/comic_collage.html
