Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Read it and be amazed.

In summary, this man (Chris Roller) is suing David Copperfield and wants 10% of his earnings. He also filed a similar lawsuit against David Blaine. His reasoning? The tricks that those magicians perform defy the laws of physics, and therefore, since Roller is a deity with godly powers, they must be making use of his powers for their act. They therefore either owe him money or must prove to him that their magic tricks are actually mundane and of this world.

It's a real lawsuit. And the response by the defense is kind of hilarious. Some actual quotes:

So what do you think? Is this guy for real or is he just playing some kind of publicity stunt to draw traffic to his website? Does he actually believe all this? Is he mentally disturbed?

This sounds like something I would do....





Actually, this totally sounds like my plan to join an all ladies gym, and then file a lawsuit when they dont let me join.



But how can he claim he is Jesus and God?


And if he was Jesus, couldnt he get someone better than Celine Dion? :confused:

Sounds like an attention grabber to me and apparently it's working. I give this clever guy two thumbs up!

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

wow...just wow....i'm speechless.


i mean...COME ON!!!! if he has so much money to blow and want's to be famous, donate a huge sum to charity or something....this is just stupid.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Donating to charity doesnt make you famous, unless you're famous already.


Nobody cares if a random guy on the street gives 500,000 to cancer research, but if Tom Cruise does it, it would be in the paper.

that guy is ****ing crazy

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

I was wondering that as well. Logistically that wouldn't work, unless you think about it as God can is everybody, yet nobody.

Can't you damn people acknowledge religion correctly?

God is three things, as per something called "Holy Trinity".

The Holy Trinity (meaning the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit/"Holy Ghost") denotes God in almost all mainstream Christianity.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

I took a history of religion course just to find out what the Holy Ghost is. I still don't know. :unsure:

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

It's basically omnipresence. Everywhere, all the time, in our hearts, that sort of thing.

That's why it's often called the Holy Spirit more often.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Ok, God is everywhere...and the Holy Spirit is everywhere...but what is the difference? If they're the same then why is there a distinction?

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

The father figure is the person you address when you pray. Or Jesus sometimes. Also viewed as the creator, referencing the seven days of creation and all that.

Jesus is basically the guy, the "son" of god who lived a long time ago and spread the teachings. After the old testament people were like.. "Who is this god guy anyways?"

The Holy Spirit is like the faith that keeps god around us. Like the burning bush in the bible. That's basically a reminder that he's all around.

But don't quote me on any of this. Sunday School was a long time ago.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Who said this guy is Christian?



Last time I checked there were vaious and copious amounts of religions and things called "God".

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Ok, Sean, go find me one religion who acknowledges the existance of both Jesus and God as higher powers, but referencing them as two completely different parties.

The fact that the bible - the only true source and beginnings of religions relating to god - references the holy trinity freely, it's hard to argue.

But if you believe there's some crackpot religion that's NOT based on the bible, or it's a heavily, HEAVILY skewed version of it, I'm 100% interested in knowing about it.

Scientology?

I'm just shooting one off here.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Scientology isn't even a religion. It's like an alternative to pschotherapy.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Islamic.
Hindu.

Re: Man sues Copperfield, Blaine for usurping his powers
 

Well I'll take the muslims as an answer (because that was what I was looking for) but Hindu is questionable.
