I seem to recall a court case where someone or other was suing God and the case was thrown out because the defendant could not be served.
Here it is...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuits_against_God
Quote:In the U.S. state of Nebraska, State Senator Ernie Chambers filed a suit in 2008 against God, seeking a permanent injunction against God's harmful activities, as an effort to publicize the issue of public access to the court system.[1] The suit was dismissed because God could not be properly notified, not having a fixed address. The Judge stated, "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice".[1] The senator, assuming God to be singular and all-knowing, responded "The court itself acknowledges the existence of God. A consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God's omniscience ... Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit."[1][2] Chambers filed the lawsuit in response to another lawsuit that he considered to be frivolous and inappropriate.[3]
