Suing a church or a religious publisher is not suing God (not to mention that there have presumably been many other suits against such organizations). — KCinDC ( talk) 21:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
(indent). The person liable is the same. Which is not the case in the other examples. I am not aware of any scripture that allows child abuse by priests, which is why it is the church that gets sued, as a negligent guardian of children rather than as a representative of God. Same for the romanian example, the 'conditions of contract' as it were stem directly from their role as representative of God. The publisher exists as a legal point of redress for spreading the word of God. That isn't the same as a suit against a religous publisher over an employment dispute.

I see this acquired a merge tag (8 minutes after it was written!).
I’d vote Against a merger. this is a nicely focussed article as it is; merging it would lose that.
Maybe the “…religious entities” page should be trimmed and moved to “lawsuits against the devil”, to give it a similar focus.

The Fictional section starts with "In the American comedy film..." and yet the link leads to a page titled "The Man Who Sued God" that correctly identifies this movie as being Australian. 58.179.241.85 ( talk) 23:15, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

This would take into account the lawsuit against Rama. Category:God says: "This category is for articles relating to the monotheistic God.". Apokrif ( talk) 19:40, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
The article currently states the following: When God "failed to turn up in court", Penrose won the case by default.
Is that actually true? The Indianapolis Star does not provide the results of the lawsuit, but it does say that "Tansie said he hopes to win a default judgment when the defendant fails to appear in court", saying that that was indeed the intent. The second source provided, "1001 hideous history facts : delve into the depths of our despicable past", does not seem reliable and does not state where it got the information from, at least on the page where the claim is made. 178.155.5.169 ( talk) 12:03, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
The Indian movie Oh My God also depicts a lawsuit against god so I think someone should add a part on that to the Fictional Suits section 67.4.226.80 ( talk) 02:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
It is information contained in this book: https://www.casadellibro.com/libro-juicio-a-dios/9788417044572/5640372
I have not found much information in English about it. It is assumed that it was a propaganda attempt in the context of the church-state separation carried out in January 1918 by Anatoly Lunacharsky. It may be confused with the 1922 Moscow Trial of the Russian Orthodox Church. In the same way, it should have at least some mention as it is done in Wikipedia in Spanish. 186.32.217.19 ( talk) 18:07, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
