Man who crashed into synagogue was "just doing God's work"

The suspect and a friend were "hanging out at my apartment, and I got a call from God telling me to do this," Adam Disabato says in a complaint. "I'm not crazy. I'm just doing God's work." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Maybe he is the Messiah and maybe he isn't.

Why not nail his sorry ass butt to a cross and see whether he rises from the dead or not. If he does, sign me up for the new cult.

I used to live near this synagogue. Big congregation, lovely old building, but it's located at a weird, K-shaped intersection on a busy street. It's surprising that nobody's plowed into it before -- mission from God or not!

"It's 106 feet to the synagogue, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

"Hit it!"

God told me to spend the day looking out the window and goofing off on the internet instead of earning a living.

I've been getting calls from God too but I can't prove it because he blocks his Caller ID. BTW what's the area code for heaven? I figure hell's area code is 666.

God called me the other day, but it was a wrong number.

Did that guy who got the kids high get out of jail already?

You believe in gods, ergo you are crazy. QED.

Depending on what you are believing, the New Testament god seems to be all about feeding the poor and helping out those discriminated against (be they Samaritans or Arizonans with darkish skin). The god of the old testament seems to be more about the destruction and vengeance crap, like destroying the worship areas of the opposing gods. I am left very confused as to who this guy is working for.

At least in the old countries there were fewer choices. Too many gods here in the USA.

I don't know about God, he doesn't call and he never takes me out to lunch.

@Phranqlin ... awesome!

Adam, This is God. Stop helping me.

God has nothing to do with this.
PSYCHO!

Could'nt agree with you more

Too bad that Jews don't run the prisons.

If people do good things in God's name, God gets the credit. If people do bad things in God's name, it's not His fault. Isn't this convenient?

"I'm not crazy. I'm just doing God's work."

He just incriminated himself with his own words. "Doing God's work" is pretty much always immediate grounds for long-term institutionalization.
