LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The defendant in a state senator’s lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He’s everywhere.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he’s trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.

Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”

The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused “fearsome floods … horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes.”

He’s seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.

Chambers said the lawsuit was triggered by a federal suit filed against a judge who recently barred words such as “rape” and “victim” from a sexual assault trial.

OK, blah blah blah, the guys trying to make a point.  But that has nothing to do with my post here.

My post is about what the Associated Press chose to use as their photograph of this guy. 

Somehow I really doubt that this was the best picture.

Somehow I get the feeling that the editors has an ulterior motive.

Something possibly, about making this guy look like a saint.

Because I doubt that the photographer would take a shot like this with a giant fan in the picture.

Nope, the picture was taken and approved by editors who at best thought it would be funny.

Or maybe they really did want to insult the millions of people who are religious.
