This reminds me of an episode of South Park, where Kyle tried to get the Jews to apologize for crucifying Jesus.

The news article doesn't make it clear whether:
1. The guy is a very delusional religious nut 2. The guy knows the case is silly in the extreme, but he is trying to get some point across (but is still a religious nut, but not as crazy as in #1). (I recall that some sane US senator attempted to sue the Christian god to make a point.) I get the feeling that #1 is true, but the guy seems to be a legitimate lawyer. |

Good luck with that considering there was no body, no murder weapon and no motive and his only supposed source, the christian bible, confirms there was no body, no murder weapon and no motive. Not to mention the Statute of Limitations for Deicide is only 2,000 years. On the other hand, if the jury consisted of Mel Gibson, Imajinabad, Quanell X, Anthony Scalia and the Coeur D'alone City Council and Fox News was given exclusive coverage rights, who knows? Even if there was a Judgment against "The Jews" seems like there would still need to be some refund to the Jews since we would all agree that Jewish property stolen by Christians from Jews in the last 2,000 years has to be some multiple of what The Jews currently hold.

To my eyes, this is one of those gentry who feels like trying it on elsewhere. It has, after all, been a profitable scam. |

All the Tanzanians looked at me like I was half mad - mzungu wazimu (white man crazy). I tried to explain that I didn't want to be sued if someone died. 'What would happen if he should fall?' The Indian camera man turned to me and laughed - 'if he dies no one will ask any questions. We'll just throw his body on the street. No one will care.' Nothing happened of course. But it shows you how strange it is to have them establish the value of life at a high dollar amount in some situations but in everyday reality they themselves see life has no intrinsic monetary value. |

I guess if he wins big money, we're all going to be scrambling to say we are descended from converts.

The waste of tax money makes you sick, once you realise that none of those who decide how it is spent actually pay any real tax. |
