Lawsuit against God thrown out

 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.
