The link is a LA Times story about this person who needs psychological help more than he needs to stand at a pulpit. Far too many stories and reports of events stemming from a evangelical or fundamentalist who have acted out on their religious beliefs and broken the law.

Often they claim to have been inspired to act and then realize that it was their religious ideology that caused the motivating factor only to find out they were wrong and many of these acts have resulted in great harm and even death to innocent people.

The pattern is easy to see like in this one he acted out and reliance upon Jesus that moved him to do the illegal acts. like the mothers who hacked up their children, the parents who prayed instead of taking their sick children to a doctor where they later died due to the parents religious beliefs.

How many more of these mentally ill people are loose in the world and are going to kill more innocent people? How many more of these whackjobs are loose and when is the public going to wake up and finally recognize that the evangelicals and fundamentalists are not practicing any legitimate form of Christianity, that they are simply programming gullible people and scaring them into compliance with fascism under the guise and thinly veiled ruse of religion.

Those under the control of those factions work very hard to maintain their dominion and control over the masses and when a story like this is printed they just pass it off as isolated, but there are too many and each make the same claims.

The claims are:
1. Jesus spoke to them;
2. They were compelled to act to prevent a serious event;
3. Their actions were for the good of others even though very often people are seriously hurt or killed;
4. The pastors and church members had prior knowledge of their actions BEFORE they acted and did nothing to prevent it;
5. The pastors and church members ignore the seriousness of the acts and continue the same practices thus producing additional agents who commit the same acts;
6. Authorities are not acting to prevent these crimes from happening due to the religious affiliation and when they do act the penalties are less than it would be if committed by a non fundie or evangelical

There are other facts that can be listed but the above are sufficient for now to make the point and to provide a checklist to be aware of and possibly prevent future events if people will simply pay attention and be alert to the potential present in fundie churches and groups today.

If you are aware of anyone in a fundamentalist or evangelical group engaging in fear of governmental take over, end of the world illogical ideas, obsessive and compulsive reliance upon the Bible and the inability to think about reasonable concepts without having to parrot verses and/or try to convince others of illogical ideology then take steps to protect yourself and others.

If these people speak about doing anything illegal or that "voices" are speaking to them then they could be in serious need of psychological treatment and may be capable of very serious acts and must be helped by reporting it to the proper authorities to prevent another killer mother or hijacker which is nothing more than terrorism under the guise of religion.
