Man: God ordered me to ram vehicle

Another moron who doesn't realize that the little voice in his head is himself.

1. The saddest thing
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 02:41 PM by dmallind
Is that an official, sworn to uphold the constitution, perpetuated this superstitious mumbo jumbo by agreeing that this same voice in the head was involved or even exists to be involved.

Why order a (much deserved of course) psychiatric evaluation for a man and then make a statement that takes as axiomatic the truth of the delusion which makes such an evaluation necessary?

Oh and under what cause did they get to search or test the completely innocent victim for alcohol?(and YES folks - it WOULD have counted as a "drunk driving" crash if they had found any on her, as there is absolutely no assessment of fault involved in such statistics - fewer than half the drivers in "drunk driving" deaths are actually drunk)

2. Well, God works in mysterious ways.
And everything happens for a reason. And God gave man free will.

Did I leave anything out?

3. That would make an interesting sentence...
"God gave man free will, then he ordered me to ram a car". Life is so nice when you don't believe in imaginary friends, isn't it?

4. He's obviously not a True Christian
I don't remember any driving tips in the bible.

I wonder whether the victim had any bumper stickers? Something got this idiot riled up, and it wasn't necessarily her driving.
