'God said she needed to be taken off road'


A speeding pickup rear-ended a woman's sedan on the South Side on Friday morning and sheriff's officials say the driver said it was Jesus' will because the other motorist was not “driving like a Christian.”

The bizarre incident that shut down southbound U.S. 281 above the Medina River happened about 7:25 a.m.

“He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road,” said Lt. Kyle Coleman of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.

The driver of the pickup was identified in a Sheriff's Office news release as Michael E. Schwab, 52, of Blooming Grove.

Schwab told first responders at the scene that “the other vehicle was not driving like a Christian and it was Jesus' will for him to punish the car,” according to the release. ......(more)

1. Jesus probably could've punished her car while it was still in the driveway.

Oh wait, I'm thinking of Godzilla. Nevermind.

6. It's a tricky place to drive.

All kinds of weird exits and cloverleafs and god forbid you miss your exit.

4. It's cool. I know exactly what you mean. The holy spirit commanded me to pound you into a coma.

See how that works?

5. Religious insanity should be grounds for institutionalization.

7. I wonder if atheists are safer drivers?

After all, we don't have a sequel to look forward to. This is it, so we'd better not screw it up too badly. And why doesn't Jesus ever do his own dirty work?

8. You are so funny. What a great reply. Cheers....

10. Thank you. To quote the late, great GB Shaw:

"My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world."

Though that quote is alternately attributed to Sir Walter Besant, with whom I am woefully unfamiliar.

9. It's amazing how God always wants someone else to do these things

You think that if God didn't like the way she was driving God would just cause the engine to quit and then the car would slowly and safely come to a complete stop.
