The whole 2015 article:

Sylvia Driskell, a 66-year-old woman from Auburn, Nebraska, filed a federal lawsuit last week titled Driskell v. Homosexuals. Driskell, acting as her own lawyer and the ambassador of “God, And His, Son Jesus Christ,” would like the District Court in Omaha to determine whether being gay is a sin. She did not cite any previous court cases in her petition, which is seven pages long and written in cursive, instead relying on the consul of Merriam-Webster and the Bible. Driskell asks, “Why are judges passing laws, so sinners can break religious, and moral laws. Will all the judges of this Nation, judge God to be a lier [sic].”

The civil-rights case has been assigned to Judge John M. Gerrard, and no summons have been issued. Many people around the country have been surprised to learn that they were being sued by some person they had never met in Nebraska.

my favorite part is where they explain that for her to claim that this is under the jurisdiction of a federal court, she would have to prove that there are no gay people who are citizens of the state of Nebraska

She was mad I fucked her husband because he was done with her bullshit and had already checked out of the marriage.

He stayed for the kids, not your stuck up shitty personality.

Sorry op... Just talking out loud.

This used to hit, if you were either stoned or just sitting, exhausted in the emergency room, waiting for news. Philosophy class was an excellent chaser for either situation

Someone sued God!? You really need to be high to not get angry about it
