He was on a misson from God!!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A man on trial for threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner cross-examined the Kansas Republican on Wednesday in federal court, with the congressman rejecting the defendant’s suggestions that he was conveying a message from God.

LaTurner was the last prosecution witness in the trial of Chase Neill, 32, from the northeastern Kansas city of Lawrence. Prosecutors contend that Neill, who is representing himself in court, became fixated on LaTurner and then made his threat in a June 5 phone message left after hours at LaTurner’s office in Topeka
.

[B]Neill suggested Wednesday during his cross-examination of prosecution witnesses that he believes he is a “religious heir” whose message to LaTurner followed a tradition of Old Testament prophets following a duty of speaking for God and doing it as if they were God themselves. In questioning LaTurner, Neill asked whether it was reasonable for Neill to identify himself in his voicemail as the son of God.

“I thought the whole voicemail was unreasonable, especially the death threat parts,” LaTurner replied.

Neill acknowledges that he left the voicemail message in June telling LaTurner, “I am saying that I will kill you,” but argues that his use of the phrase “act of God” in the same message means he was forwarding a message from God, not himself.

"God works in mysterious ways", so what's your point?

Or is this Grievance of the Day thread?

Just to balance this out,
Quote:
During her speech, Ms Boebert called for Christians to "speak up" for God to remove "unrighteous politicians, these corrupt, crooked politicians" and to install "righteous men and women of God" in their place.
Perhaps BoBo was whispering in his ears.

Another gem from BoBo:

Quote:
Earlier this year, Boebert hinted that Jesus may have prevented his crucifixion if he had owned AR-15 rifles.

“How many AR-15s do you think Jesus would have had?” Boebert asked a crowd at a Christian event in Colorado. “Well, he didn’t have enough to keep his government from killing him.”
This vile creature is way too much for me, but thanks Whell, I aim to have a lot of fun with this thread because that is what my God would want me to do.
