Woman Intentionally Rams Car Into Church - Says "God Doesn't Exist"
<snip>

Waukesha - A woman intentionally rammed her car into St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Saturday, saying the deadly Brookfield shootings prove God does not exist, police Sgt. Jeff Fulwiler said Monday.

The woman was distraught over the shooting deaths of seven people earlier that day during a church service at the Sheraton hotel in Brookfield, he said. The gunman, Terry Ratzmann, 44, turned the gun on himself and also died.

She didn't know the victims.

Waukesha police were called to the 800 block of N. East Ave. after the accident, just after 11 p.m., Fulwiler said. The shootings occurred around 1 p.m.

The woman was unconscious when officers arrived and was taken to the Waukesha County Mental Health Center, Fulwiler said.

The woman's car was ruined, but there was no damage to the church, he said.

2. Whats worse, Religous Insanity or Athiestic Insanity?
Opposite sides of the same coin, IMO.

9. Because
The church was better built then the car she was driving, that's why!!!

Now if she had crashed a Hummer into the church, you know that would have left a big gaping hole in the side of the building.

10. Like this?


God was the one who made the car builders deliberately make it weaker than the church. That's how He does things. They didn't even know they were doing it. God's mysterious like that.

4. She'll likely find that insurance companies DO exist --
-- and that her premiums are about to go through the roof.

7. I personally don't believe in God, but...
A shooting in a church proves nothing about God's existence one way or another.

Serious gaps in this lady's thought process...


Funny thing is, she probably will have spurred the whole congregation into praying for her...

12. I don't ram my car into churches, but
I never pass a church without thinking: What a waste of space. Also: Too bad big religion can't be taxed.
