Melissa Miller Drives 100 MPH After God Tells Her To

Melissa Miller

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 11/21/12 EST Updated: 11/21/12 EST

God may work in strange and mysterious ways -- but does that include making a woman drive 100 mph in a 30 mph zone?

That's the excuse Melissa Miller gave cops who pulled her over early Tuesday after witnessing her speeding and blowing her horn near Fort Pierce, Fla.

When authorities questioned why she was driving so fast, she explained it was "because I was letting the Lord spirit [sic] guide me," according to TCPalm.com. and claimed she banged the car horn long and hard because of "the Lord telling me to do it."

The arresting officers didn't need the Lord to tell them what to do -- it was all there in the law books. Miller, 41, of Port St. Lucie, was arrested on charges of reckless driving and speeding, according to MSN.com.

Miller was taken to the St. Lucie County Jail and placed under a $375 bail, WFTS-TV reported. In addition to reckless driving, she was charged with violation of her probation for leaving the scene of an accident with injuries.

The bail may be a lot, but surely the Lord will provide.

"Don't use the name of God in vain" , I think she forgot that.

She obviously misunderstood the message. She was told to walk a hundred miles to shed some of those pounds not drive 100mph.

It actually a brilliant defense. Consider that, when convicted, she will claim the gov't has a war on christians and the donations will come rolling in and "christians" leader will swarm to her defense to criticize the judge for being anti-christian, etc.... At least this is what she must be banking on.

Whatโ€™s the difference between this woman and the Catholic Bishops? The Catholic Bishops claim their religious freedom trumps secular federal laws such as the
federal regulations require that private health insurance plans include contraception services. The rule applies not to churches but to colleges, hospitals and charities that serve and employ non-Catholics. Both the Catholic Bishops and this woman feel they can just ignore secular civil laws because their imaginary god told them too.
Stupid Christians.

But if that was the case, you would think that the cops would have given her the field sobriety test.. And would have mentioned that in the news report as well.

apparently "Lord spirit" was the cheap vodka she was drinking.

Oral Roberts raise millions of dollars saying his God would call him home, kill him in other words, if this money was not given to him by his followers.

So, lets give this woman the benefit of the doubt, and give her money to start her own ministry.

Just kidding,....

...it's annoying that highly intelligent people believe a God, and a Devil, are in our midst controlling what goes on in such a divided World, and there is no "outrage" by them to realize differently.

What is amazing is people like you believe in macro evolution!
11:13 AM on 11/22/2012
There is tons of PHYSICAL evidence supporting macro evolution...and you? We'll wait........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Oh yeah, you have an old book.

I do not know about "macro evolution," but what I do know is people value Gods more than their own family and friends, and that frightens me.
