Man says God ordered him to ram vehicle at 100 mph

A man who rammed his truck into a woman's vehicle on a highway early Friday told authorities he crashed into her while going more than 100 mph because God told him "she needed to be taken off the road."

The truck rear-ended the car on U.S. Highway 281, both vehicles spun across a median then came to a stop along a barrier in the opposite lanes. Both drivers suffered only minor injuries.

"He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road," Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kyle Coleman said in the online edition of the San Antonio Express-News. "God must have been with them, 'cause any other time, the severity of this crash, it would have been a fatal."

The pickup driver did not tell police how the woman was driving. Police could not find alcohol or drugs in either driver.

A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a man.

When people do something stupid, why is it always Gods fault?

to try to kill someone else, and a sheriff's spokesman says that very same psychotic delusion saved htem?

In the other threads on this subject that didn't come up for a while.

Why do you find faith so hard to understand? It wasn't "stupid"; it was OBVIOUSLY part of God's plan, as evidenced by the fact that they both survived a collision that should have killed them.

It's a Goddamn miracle, is what it is!

so he can manufacture a miracle.

and are just getting home from the World o' Outlaws dirt track racing "Vienna Sausage Showdown" on the day when godless folk are gearing up for that Satanic holiday in disguise that they call Halloween.

Or perhaps a God that liked to smash his Matchbox cars together in epic conflagrations when He was a young'un.

Miracles are provided for His People to interpret and to confound the Infidel. Question not His ways.

You'd think that God could simply make the woman take the next exit. Or perhaps he's not that subtle?

Jesus has a body shop just south of the exit.

You poor thing, stuck in that flat, frozen, treeless hell hole all winter.

Is Footloose still showing at your local movie theatre?

Whispering sweet fundamentalist nothings into the ear of a single redneck asshole seemed easier at the time.

God, the slacker. Who knew? :shrug:

If the person weren't religious, he would have said aliens told him to do it or the CIA ordered him to do it.

As to the sheriff's remark, who knows?

Atheism is looking better and better all the time.

didn't God supposedly tell some assholes to ram airplanes into buildings too? Wouldn't that make this a terrorist attack? :shrug:

Or, is it just crazy people that hear god? :shrug:

At least if they're fundies, he does.

Because he doesn't have anything better to do.

And I now worry a bit about my cousin who lives in Texas, what with all these people who claim that God talks to them. You know, guys like that lame duck idiot at 1600 Pennsylvania and now this dude.

it's the stuff of the ages, idiocy in the name of some imaginary vengeful super King

One of these days I'll get around to it.

Praise the LAWD!!!

Ten %, I believe, is the going rate.

So, umm you're happily cruising down the freeway; you get ass-ended by some guy who says god told him to "take you off the road" and YOU get drug-tested?

physically restrained from beating the idiot to death with a piece of her ruined car after he informed her that god told him to ram her . . .

In her shoes, I might have been tempted to 'send him to jesus' myself.

Or not...Maybe GOD just got bored with talking to George W. Bush?

I guess the guy just didn't have enough sanctifyin' in his driving.




Driving Psychology out of the New Testament

Traffic rage, road rage, aggressive driving -- Highway Babylon -- is a spiritual crisis of our generation. Christians need to sanctify their driving. The Lord cares about how we treat our highway neighbor. We need to understand how driving is related to the Gospels.

Lifelong driver education starts in childhood when we establish our basic road attitudes. New Testament lessons are used as group activities to teach road morality as a religious duty.

Facts & Stats About Driving

had any bumper stickers on her car that might have p!ssed Mr. Jeebus Is My Co-Pilot off.

I remember being taught in Catechism that God told some guy to slit his son's throat to test his faith. It all ends well with God telling the nut not to cut his sons throat at the last moment. But I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if my father heard Gods voice telling him to cut my throat? Would he do it? I remember not sleeping well for weeks worrying about this scenario.

That's about the time I said this religious stuff is for crazy people. I was probably six or seven.
