I've lost faith in the law.

As you probably know, I've been writing little snippets of a story where some dumbass sues the Sun.

"It's the Sun's Fault."

You can interpret this tale a few ways. Some dude is suing an inanimate object. Some dude is suing a celestial body. Or if you approach it as poly-deism, a guy is raising a case against the gods or God in general.

Well, my far-fetched idea isn't so imaginative after all.

Today in the local paper is a story about some idiot who fell over while praying. He bumped his noggin and now he's suing his church.

"Matt Lincoln of Knoxville, Tenn., says he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while worshipping. Now the 57-year-old is suing his church for $2.5 million for medical bills,lost income, and pain and suffering."
Associated Press

Aren't you supposed to give to the church? Isn't the church supposed to teach forgiveness?

And what idiot attorney would take a case like this? Seriously. I need to know.

There really isn't anything to say here besides a grown-ass man should fucking know better.

I award you, Matt Lincoln, the ultimate douche bag award.

The whole thing it truly stunning.
