Original posting at 8:21 a.m. ET: God has spoken. Court officials says the deity somehow submitted court papers in response to a lawsuit filed last week by a Nebraska lawmaker known as "King Cobra."
"This one miraculously appeared on the counter. It just all of a sudden was here — poof!" John Friend, the court clerk in Douglas County, says.
"God," who lists Archangel St. Michael as a witness, argues in the response that the local court doesn't have jurisdiction to hear the case. Either way, the filing says Sen. Ernie Chambers was wrong to blame him/her/it for the suffering of mankind.
"I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you," the response says, according to the Associated Press.
The document didn't include any contact information.
Update at 9:17 a.m. ET: We called the clerk's office to request a copy of God's filing. We were rebuffed. The clerk's office says we have to send someone to pick it up or send a written request by mail.
God, if you're reading this, please fax (703-854-2409) or e-mail (ondeadline (at) usatoday.com) your response to On Deadline.
Update at 2:51 p.m. ET: It took a while, the big guy came through for us. After an early assist by reader Chris Schiltz, who was unable to procure the document despite his best efforts, Michael Friedman of the American Humanist Association obtained the filing and faxed it to On Deadline.

The filing challenges the court's jurisdiction and says "GOD does not issue terroristic threats, but HE will visit an appropriate punishment upon the blasphemous Complainant by seeing that he is removed from office next year."
It's signed "God, Defendant."
Michelangelo's face detail of God.
Two court filings in response to a lawsuit brought by Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers were filed on behalf of God, according to John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court in Omaha, Nebraska.  

"This one miraculously appeared on the counter. It just all of a sudden was here -- poof!" said Mr. Friend. In one filing, St. Michael the Archangel is listed as a witness.

The response argues that the defendant is not subject to the jurisdiction and laws of the court.  According to the response read by Friend, God said, "I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you."

Reports say that the papers were filed by "King Cobra", a lawmaker in Nebraska.

Chambers had sued God for "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants." Chambers, an agnostic, argues that his lawsuit is "frivolous" and "anybody can sue anybody."
