Case against God dismissed in Romanian court
Bucharest, Romania

11 July 2007 04:09

A Romanian man who sued God for "fraud" and "betrayal of trust" for failing
to answer his prayers has had his case dismissed in court, a newspaper
reported on Wednesday.

Mircea Pavel (40), who is serving 20 years in prison for murder, brought
charges against "the defendant God, who lives in the heavens and is
represented in Romania by the Orthodox Church", the daily Evenimentul Zilei
reported.

He accused God of "fraud, betrayal of trust, corruption and influence
peddling".

"At my christening, I made a deal with the defendant aimed at freeing me
from evil. But the latter has not respected that agreement until now,
although he received from me various assets and numerous prayers," Pavel
wrote.

The court in Timisoara, in western Romania, dismissed the case, ruling that
"God is not subject to law and does not have an address". -- Sapa-AFP
