SAN ANTONIO - 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."

And why not? Some president invaded a country in the name of god.
So why is it not possible that some individual should kill other people by the demand of some god?

Anyway, I hope they lock the guy away forever and that they load him with some nice benzodiazepines too!!!

yeah he was released. Texas law deems it allowed.

*rolls around the floor, laughing her ass off and knowing she shouldn't*

Clearly we must ban trucks.

Hey, if God tells you to do something, you damn well do it. You don't mess with a guy that a can piss freaking lightning bolts!

Clearly we must ban trucks.

Sorry, but I lost my truck in a tragic boating accident.

Clearly we must ban boats.

Clearly we must ban trucks.

Dualies, at least. WHY do people insist on driving those in-town...

So... new plan, anytime you fuck up, 'God told me to'.

God tells me that every damn day on my morning commute. Luckily, I have my music turned too high to really hear Him.

Clearly we must ban boats.

Unfortunately, I lost my boat in a tragic spelunking accident. :p

Clearly we must ban trucks.
But then only outlaws will have them :(

So... new plan, anytime you fuck up, 'God told me to'.

its the law in Texas. in fact the woman is going to have to pay for damages to his truck.

Man, I was so happening that this wouldn't go national, much less international. Stupid media!

I must admit, when it was on the local news last week, I was laughing my butt off :p

"God just wanted to know why your left turn signal is still on when you completed your turn six minutes ago. Sure, he could have asked himself, but he's very shy around girls."

I love that the sheriff said "God must have been with them." Well, duh, God was talking to the guy, wasn't he? And let me tell you something, God don't call people on no cell phone. He arrives in person, and then proceeds to fuck your shit up.

The man is just insane, a clear danger for himself and the beings around. He should be locked in a nuthouse.

My God, this is trucking ridiculous.

That is all.

*facedesk*


I can't believe "God told me to do it" is a viable excuse over there..

So... new plan, anytime you fuck up, 'God told me to'.

It's like "The Devil made me do it," except you get to come off as being somehow pious.

Seems to me like God's losing his edge. Back in the old days he'd wipe out cities with brimstone, or at least sic rabid bears on hapless populations of young children to rip them apart. Now he's just causing non-fatal car accidents. What's next? "God made me cut my toenails!"

Clearly we must ban trucks.

God tells me that we must extend that ban to all wheeled vehicles.

Oh noes! Without the truck there will be no awesome trucker fashion trends!!:eek2:

Huh.

The last time somebody used "Deus lo vult" as an excuse was a recipe for disaster!

Hey, if God tells you to do something, you damn well do it. You don't mess with a guy that a can piss freaking lightning bolts!
God told me to ignore any politician who said they were acting in his name.
He also told me that people who kill in his name are fucking nut jobs.
He also said that anyone who uses "God told me" as a justification for anything are lying or nuts.

er....

Oh noes! Without the truck there will be no awesome trucker fashion trends!!:eek2:

You have a strange definition of "awesome."

I wonder if I'd get away with running around naked playing RATM music in town, and saying god told me to do it

You have a strange definition of "awesome."
We both know you wish you have a beard like that.
And, yes, I am aware that you're a woman. You've still got pilose envy.

G-d told me that this man needs to have a psychiatric evaluation.

You know, there might just be such a thing as starting too many God threads at once.

I suggest you refrain from your next one until these three die.

God tells me that every damn day on my morning commute. Luckily, I have my music turned too high to really hear Him.
LOL. *applauds* If I had a sig I'd sig that quote.

EDIT: But seriously, who gets to say what "god" says anyway? It's not like any of us are him/her/they, let alone know whether he/she/they exist...

Pfft, I have posted pictures of my beard here before, and it is far sexier:

Aw yeah. You know you all like it. :tongue:

Clearly we must ban caves.

Either we all do or no one does. At least, that's what God tells me.

Clearly we must ban trucks.
Clearly we must ban boats.
Clearly we must ban caves.
Clearly we must ban Goofballs.

Clearly we must ban Goofballs.

I'll just go black market, like cocaine without all the paranoia and penis shrinkage. *nod*

Are you serious?!
Why does she have to pay for them?
He did the crime....oh wait apparently God told him to

I still have a hard time that God told him to take someones life:confused:

Uh, uh, uh, HE made me do it!

God didn't tell him to kill her, just to 'take her off the road.' God's a glorified traffic cop apparently.

You'd cause penis shrinkage with (cold) water balloons... and paranoia...

Well I'm a clown so everybody suspects I'm up to something, but it's not paranoia because I actually am. :D

He snores, and at intervals, cackles. Sometimes he goes "I'll show them. I'll show them all!"

Clearly we must ban Goofballs.

Ban Fiddlebottoms.

No, you merely cause testicular trauma. I think I'll stick with the penis shrinkage, thank you very much.
Ban Fiddlebottoms.
Then where shall we rest our chins?

This is the problem with things like air bags. That nutter obviously should have been a prime candidate for natural deselection.

some how i don't recall this having worked for 'son of sam'. i thought the legal system was supposed to work on the basis of something called precident.

(i have very major doubts about a god that would tell people individually to do things that its hand picked channellers told people it didn't want them to do. granted some of THEM were far from saintly before being chosen. but that isn't quite the same thing. i mean i'd seriously question a god's being a god if it were to actually do so. i suppose a god could forbid logic, but then i mean, without logic how could faith be anything other then chaos?)

Hell in NC, Telling them that you're just trying to emulate your hero Earnhardt Sr. works just as well. *nods*

Do it and make a YouTube video! :D

But you do cause penis shrinkage, what with the kicking of the nuts and stuff.

Well he's been bored ever since Jesus came back home, and Satan doesn't want to play anymore ever since they gotten into a fight over a game of Pictionary.

What's next? "God made me cut my toenails!"
*hides toenail clippings*
er... well... of course not... that would be silly! :p

G-d told me that this man needs to have a psychiatric evaluation.
The San Antonio Police Department seems to agree with God on that one. Makes one wonder if they'll agree with him about taking the victim off the road. :p
Well I'm a clown so everybody suspects I'm up to something, but it's not paranoia because I actually am. :D

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean that clowns won't eat me if I fall asleep.

Sigged!

i suppose a god could forbid logic, but then i mean, without logic how could faith be anything other then chaos?)

Like the God's of Warhammer 40k! I KNEW KHORNE WAS REAL! You all told me I was crazy, they locked me away for years! BUT I KNEW! Mwahahahaha!

Are you serious?!
Why does she have to pay for them?

it ws her driving that made god tell him to take her off the road.
