Suit against God

Last week, I mentioned a The Week magazine contest to find an advertising slogan for a law firm seeking to represent people with divine grievances.  This sprung from the suit filed recently by an Israeli man, saying that he was "fed-up with the Almighty (for) treating him harshly and not nicely."  He asked for a restraining order.   The winning advertising slogans were published in the June 3, 2016 The Week issue.  If you are not able to get that issue, here are the slogans:

3rd  "We don't answer to a Higher Authority."

2nd  "The Lord giveth, but we taketh away."

(This could also have been a good motto for Reverend Ike to use.)

1st  "Hallowed be thy claim."

(Do you remember what the first grader said when asked about his prayer words.  "Harold be thy name.")
