A judge-has thrown out a case against God - as the Almighty does not have an official address and legal papers cannot be served.
Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year, seeking a permanent injunction against God who, he said, made terrorist threats against him and his Omaha constituents.
Additionally, he said God inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants".
The US politician said his case was over the fact that everyone should have access to the courts, regardless of whether they have money or not.
However, Douglas County District Court judge Marlon Polk ruled that under the states law, a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward - and this would be rather tricky under the circumstances.
Judge Polk said: "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant, this action will be dismissed with prejudice."
But Senator Chambers, a law school graduate, thinks he has found a hole in the judge's ruling.
He said: "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 everything.”
Senator Chambers, who has served a record 38 years in the Nebraska Legislature, has 30 days to decide whether to appeal.
