The Times of Israel is reporting on the story of a man who petitioned the Haifa Magistrate’s Court to issue a restraining order against God because He had been treating in a particularly unkind way.
The man argued that “over a three-year period God, had exhibited a seriously negative attitude toward him, although details of just what divine mischief he had borne the brunt of were not mentioned in the report,” the Times reports.
The initiator of the request, who has not been named, represented himself in court.
“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,” the Times continued.
The man claimed that he had been trying for three years to obtain a restraining order from police but that the authorities simply sent a patrol car to his home on about 10 occasions.
Presiding Judge Ahsan Canaan denied the request, calling it “ludicrous” and suggesting that the applicant needed help – not from the court but “from other sources.”
The Times adds: “The report did not include a response on the outcome from any of the multitude of available spokespeople on behalf of the Lord.”
