Murderer Points a Finger at God
Suing Him for failing to save him from Devil
Reneged on "baptism pact" to keep evil at bay
A conivcted murderer says the Devil made him do it- but he wants God to pay for his sins.
The inmate, a Romainian identified only as Pavel M., is suing God for failing to save him from satan.
Pavel says when he was babtized as a child, he was in fact making a pact with God that was supposed protect him from all evil and keep him out of trouble.
"God recieved...valuables from me, as well as prayers in exchange for promises of a better life," he notes in his lawsuit.
"In reality, this did not happen- I found myself in the devil's hands."
Pavel, who's serving 20 years in the Timisoara jail in western Romainia, has fingered the Romainian Orthodox Church as God's direct representitive here on Earth.
And he says it's the church that should be forced to compensate him for the God- inflicted damage wrought by His alleged crimes: "Cheating, concealmeant, abuse against peaople's interest, taking bribe and traffic or influence."
Pavel's complaint was sent to the Timisoara Court of Justice and forwarded to the prosecutor's office.
But court officials say the suit will likely be dropped because the defendant- identified as "God, resident in Heaven"- is neither an individual nor a company, and therefore not subject to a civil court's jurisdiction.
And besides, they could have difficulty dilivering the subpoena.
