Pity. I’m sure that restraining order would have fixed everything for the poor guy.

Trust in your judicial system can be taken to extremes…

Man seeks restraining order against God

No, I know what you’re thinking. It sounds like an unremarkably typical Onion title. In fact it’s from the Times of Israel.

An Israeli man has petitioned the Haifa Magistrate’s Court for a restraining order against God, claiming the Almighty has been particularly unkind to him.

A protocol of the hearing noted that God did not turn up for the session, although it did not specify how the court determined the Omnipresent was not in fact there, as opposed to merely exercising the right to remain silent.

You gotta read the whole thing. It brought a smile to my face, and clearly also to that of the writer. It’s not clear what ‘other help’ the judge eventually offered the complainant.

You shouldn't ask these questions of a paranoid recluse, you know.

    How doth one serve The Almighty, anyway?
    And what constitutes proof of service?

    “what constitutes proof of service?” What? You mean that God doesn’t issue something like a DD214 to the godly?
