And now, for something completely different... and utterly insane!
The lunacy is metastasizing in Florida. The AP reports that a man from Illinois tried to steal a gun, hoping to use it to "rescue" Terri Schiavo. This came after he paid a visit to the Pinellas County, Fla. hospice where Schiavo lies dying.
Randy McKenzie, the owner of Randall's Firearms, said [Michaels W. Mitchell] pulled out the box cutter and broke the glass on a couple of display cases.
"He told me if I wasn't on Terri's side then I wasn't on God's side, either," McKenzie told The Associated Press.
Crazy? Certainly. But, this kind of behavior can be expected of people who convince themselves that God is on their side. It is the same kind of mindset that leads people to believe God wants them to kill abortion doctors. It is what makes them think that it is Christian to deny basic civil rights to gays and lesbians. It is, in fact, the same kind of mindset that allows a president to lead his nation to war based on lies.
