Nebraska woman sues "all homosexuals"

Post by Graham Kennedy »

Source
An Auburn woman calling herself an ambassador for God and his son, Jesus Christ, filed a federal lawsuit Friday against all homosexuals.

Sylvia Driskell, 66, said in the suit that she is petitioning the U.S. District Court of Omaha to be heard "in the matter of homosexuality. Is homosexuality a sin, or not a sin?"

In a seven-page letter framed as a lawsuit, she cited Bible passages that described homosexuality as an abomination and against nature, and she said never before has the nation or the state been "besiege(d) by sin."

"Will all the judges of this nation judge God to be a lier [sic]?" Driskell asked.

She said she petitioned the court because she feels it imperative to stand up for the moral principles on which the nation was founded.
She's representing herself in court. No word on who "all homosexuals" will pick to represent them, yet. I don't get a vote, but I suggest that they go for Dan Savage. Because he's funny. :D

Here's a copy of her court filing. I've not seen many court filings, but I can't say I imagine many of them are handwritten...

Can "all homosexuals" sue her for harassment?

"Hey Sylvia, God is infallible right?
- "Yes"
"So then are you suggesting that God made something that he is against on purpose?"
- "I suppose."
"Why would he do that?"
- "Ummmm..."
"Just to be a d-bag?"
- "Hey!"
Ugh... do not thump the Book of G'Quan...

I think God has made it clear he doesn't care.

God's got his own court case - getting Mary pregnant without her knowing, leaving her to raise him alone, and providing zero child support. Mary didn't consent, God must repent!

Then there's the sending Joshua to slay the Canaaanites. Let's see if the U.N. does anything.

Wouldn't G-d choose a representative with a slightly greater prowess at spelling?

Good point. He works in mysterious ways, but not that mysterious!

How about God sue this lady for slandering His good name?
