Reader Andrew pointed us to the following from AP:
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."It's religious bigotry, I tell you. How dare the police tell this man that he isn't hearing voices from God telling him to hurt other people? The Mormons and their religious right buddies have made an entire industry out of using God to justify their bashing of blacks and Jews and gays. And if you tell them to stop attacking you, they'll call you an intolerant bigot. So how is this any different?
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....
A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a man.
