Judge rejects lawsuit against God

SYRACUSE, New York (AP) -- A Pennsylvania man's lawsuit
naming God as a defendant has been thrown out by a court in
Syracuse. 

Donald Drusky, 63, of East McKeesport, Pennsylvania, blames
God for failing to bring him justice in a 30-year battle
against his former employer, the steelmaker now called USX
Corp. 

The company fired him in 1968, when it was called U.S.
Steel. 

"Defendant God is the sovereign ruler of the universe and
took no corrective action against the leaders of his Church
and his Nation for their extremely serious wrongs, which
ruined the life of Donald S.  Drusky," the lawsuit said. 

Drusky wanted God to return his youth and grant him the
guitar-playing skills of famous guitarists, along with
resurrecting his mother and his pet pigeon. If God failed to
appear in court, federal rules of civil procedure say he
must lose by default, Drusky argued. 

U.S. District Judge Norman Mordue last week found the suit
-- which also named former presidents Ronald Reagan and
George Bush, the television networks, all 50 states, every
single American, all federal judges, and the 100th through
105th congresses as defendants -- to be frivolous.
