Can You Sue God?Of Course Not, But Who Are The Indispensable Parties?

Link: Can You Sue God? Is It Necessary To Join Satan As An Indispensable Party? | WLF | May it Please the Court Law Weblog. Of course, it is ludicrous to attempt to sue the Supreme Being. The court system is designed for the remedy of human grievances, and the Almighty is certainly not the author of our own faults. The nuns taught me that God gave us free will; it seems arrogant for a puny human to bring legal action against God; but, what about Satan? In fact, if one wishes to sue higher beings, why not serve process on their surrogates? Suing the earthly representatives would seem to have a better chance of success. However, I don't think I want to explain to God's representatives on my day of reckoning that , hey, I was just kidding when I served the summons. I suppose I could say that the Devil made me do it.

I saw an article on a guy who tried to sue God. The court ended his futile efforts early because he could not "serve" God. The guy made a pretty clever argument though:

If the Court recognizes there IS a God, then the Court recognizes that God has deity powers (God is omniscient or knows everything) and if God knows everything, then he certainly knows of this suit and thereby, service is proper because the party is put on notice.
