Driver Says God Told Her ‘I’ll Take It From Here,’ ; She Promptly Runs Over Motorcyclist

[doxydad]

Depending on how you look at it, either God drove a car into motorcyclist Anthony Oliveri or – more likely – a woman took a leap of faith and the laws of physics did the rest.

While driving along the roads of Fort Wayne, Indiana, a car suddenly and inexplicably swerved directly into Oliveri. Police say the car not only ran over his bike, but also over Oliveri, leaving him badly injured on the road. The car kept on driving.

3. He never learned to drive, apparently. nt

2. Hope she is banned from driving after this. Obviously not sane enough. Poor Anthony Oliveri!

5. She should be put on a psych hold. I'm too lazy to check, but I'm guessing that

has already happened- or will shortly.

4. So this 25 year old driver is an idiot, but i take a beef with the author of this piece-

Lines like this in stories are why religiousity still has a stronghold in America-

"What God’s involvement was – if any – on that day will never be known"


Really! Jesus Y. Christ on a fucking laundry basket

[cali]

6. that was (imo a rather poor use of) irony

and the 25 year old driver is almost certainly delusional- in the clinical sense.

7. Laundry Basket?

What?

[snooper2]

10. Jesus stopped pissing on the carpet but starting using the laundry basket

It is a long story.....

16. My cat pisses in the laundry sometimes when its full. She thinks she is god.

Now I get the connection.

8. God comments: "I'm just the co-pilot. The car did not have dual controls, and...

...it was a little late to be telling me to switch positions."

9. wow. it would be harder to write a more piss poor article about this.

11. Got my first bike in '68 and have heard countless tales every since,

even once saw myself from a distance run off an unseen turn into a wood of pines as it happened - an OBE.

Never though has a God dictated my foolishness. I need no help from above in making mistakes, I've got a pretty good handle on that already.

12. Goddam religion. She ran him over because god said to do it.

He survived because god said to survive.

Goddam crazy-ass religion.

[cali]

13. no, she ran over him because she's delusional

He expressed a pretty common sentiment after a brush with death.

It is interesting though that religious delusions are one of, if not the most, common delusions of those suffering from a delusional disorder.

[valerief]

14. Well, religion is a delusion. Magic thinking. nt

15. So why would a 2000 year old man who had never even seen a car be a good driver anyhow? n/t
