“Coming from god, if you are a real god, I appreciate your 

confidence in American justice system; please proceed with your opening 

statement,” Judge Juggernaut appeared pleased. 

“Your honor, I recently heard the State of the Union speech by 

the President of the United States of America. The president concluded 

his speech by saying God Bless America; who is he to say god bless 

America, he neither asked my permission or I gave him a permission to 

say that. He cannot say on my behalf and he was not my agent either to 

act on my behalf,” the god looked annoyed. 

“It was just a customary to say God Bless America at the end of 

public speeches by politicians," the judge was conciliatory in his 

voice. 

“Precisely that's my point judge; people even if they were 

public leaders cannot invoke my name without my permission. May be I 

don't want to bless any country for nothing.” 

“Then what you suggest the leaders have to say at the end of 

their speech?” 

“At best they can say I beg god to consider blessing our 

country or anything that do not sound superfluous and artificial like 

god bless America.” 

“Do you have further objections in invoking your name?” 

“Yes your honor; say In God we Trust; why anybody should trust 

me, most people don't even think about me unless they were in trouble 

and only think about me for a relief; so why people say what they don't 

mean,” now the god was really irritated. 

“I understand your frustration; any other objections?” 

“Yes judge; when people were asked whom do you believe? The 

standard answer is I believe in god; I think it is a vain answer to 

hide behind my good name and this attitude of people frustrates me the 

most.” 

“If you have any more gripes on use of your name, please let it 

out now,” the judge gave another opportunity to god to express his 

discontent on use of this name. 

“Yes you honor; God Save the Queen is common expression in 

England and in some other countries. The Queen of England is the 

richest woman in the world and she doesn't need my protection nor do I 

give it to her even if she begs for it. I am not in the business of 

either protecting or punishing people. The fate of the people on earth 

is determined by the consequences of their own action.  I beg not to 

drag me into the business of saving people.” The god folded his both 

hands as if he gave up. 

The Attorney General personally appeared in the court to 

represent the people. Attorney General Ram Bachan was third generation 

immigrant from the Caribbean with dark skin and grey goatee appeared 

scholarly and distinguished. 

“You honor, I have been listening to this man who claims to be 

the real god and I want to ask him whether the god created the plant 

and animal kingdom including the humans by intelligent design or 

natural evolution took place to evolve into various plant and animal 

species as we see on the mother earth today?” the Attorney General 

looked at the old man hoping to get an answer. 

“Your honor, I categorically deny once for all that I have a 

hand in creation of life on the earth or on any other planet in the 

universe; I am not in the business of creation or destruction of life; 

I am only a spectator as the universe evolved into what everybody see 

today and it is still evolving into something I have no clue,” replied 

the god looking at the Attorney General. 

“Then why people say for times immemorial that In God's 

Creation?” Mr. Ram Bachan threw another question. 

“You should ask the people and not me. I did not create 

anything; that's why I am here to let the world know that I was not 

responsible for anything that happens on the earth or any other planet 

in the universe; please stop making me responsible or delegating 

responsibility to me for anything that people cannot understand or 

explain,” the god was emphatic. 

“Then why we the people say Thank God or God Knows?”     Mr. 

Ram Bachan gave a ridiculous look at the god. 

“People should not thank me for the deeds I did not facilitate to happen
nor blame me either if the events don't turn in their favor; 

I don't want people to thank me for nothing.” 

“Well, what you want me from my court,” asked Judge Juggernaut	“I want 

to be left alone. I don't want people to invoke my name even if the 

leaders were heads of countries, kings or heads of any religious order.”


“Even the pope?” asked the Attorney General. 

“Pope or king or an emperor or even the president of the United 

States of America cannot imply or invoke my name. I don't want people 

misusing my good name to hide their inadequacies and short comings to 

divert attention.  I want the entire humanity to find some other entity 

or name instead of my name God for their belief system either to blame 

for their failures or praise for their success,” the god turned towards 

the Judge as if he was begging for a ruling. 

“With the power bestowed on me by the people of this country, I 

grant you the immunity from any and all actions by the people either 

consciously or unconsciously imply your name to hide their ignorance 

and benefit from misusing your good name. No person shall either praise 

or blame you for any action or inaction on earth. Henceforth, no person 

shall invoke your name for their selfish gains,” judge Juggernaut 

brought down the gavel gently to touch his desk to bring the 

proceedings into a speedy conclusion as requested by the god. 

“I thank your honor for conducting the trial expeditiously to 

the conclusion.” The god thanked the American jurisprudence for 

resolving a problem vexing the god for a long time and vanished into 

thin air as the court officials stood in amazement and nobody dared to 

say loudly praise the god since it is illegal to invoke the name of god 

publically as per the new court ruling.
