Man charged in alleged plot to kidnap Michigan governor says God gave him permission to kill

An accused bombmaker identified as a ringleader of an alleged plot to kidnap and harm Gov. Gretchen Whitmer claimed he had permission from God to commit murder and was the national leader of a militia group that rioted at the U.S. Capitol last week, an FBI agent said Wednesday.

Croft is the national leader of the 3 Percenters, a small militia that participated in the Jan. 6 insurgence at the U.S. Capitol, FBI Special Agent Richard Trask said during the hearing,

On Wednesday, they played multiple recordings that included Croft.

“Croft was saying he was granted permission from God to commit murder, correct,” Kessler asked the FBI agent.

“Correct,” Trask said.

Who's to say he's wrong?

Regardless, we can see how there was much more at stake during the 1/6 events than just the dignity of the Capitol.

Thou shalt not murder,[1] let alone government officials because that is unChrist-like.[2]

There is a VERY big difference between true-believing Christians and those CLAIMING to be true believing Christians. Some may argue this is the 'No True Scotsman' fallacy, I call this, "Putting one's money where their mouths are."

2. 1 Pet. 2:11-25, Rom. 13:1-14

Too many people think it's god talking to them when it's just they own conscience. Religious youtubers and celebrity evangelist have a huge problem with this.
Yeah let me hear about how your dreams are visions from god as well.
Alot of people who claim to love Jesus , would really hate him if he was walking the earth today.
They pick and choose the parts of Jesus they like , then ignore the ones they don't


These guys are ridiculous. Glad they caught him before he could hurt anyone .

God does not tell people to commit murder. That is right from Satan.

Yeah, this is why many people in my country give religious people a wide berth.

Thats a matter of faith obviously. The bomb maker for Trump Christian believes differently.

Problem is this guy and people like that Joseph Kony fella would just as easily argue that you are not a True Christian.

He has done, though. Kids, too.

Yeah the message is so mixed that you have to rely on your own conscience, if you have one.

Congratulations, he's crazy. Glad he was arrested. Next story, please.

So, you're a New Testament Christian, as opposed to an Old Testament Christian.

Erm ... @Larnievc label shows 'atheist'. And it's a quote borrowed, knowingly or not, from Penn Jillette. Penn Jillette Rapes All the Women He Wants To - The Interrobang

That really is the point. The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don’t want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don’t want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you.

Yes. I was mistaken in what I thought he said. Hence my removing my post.

My apologies to Larnievc for misunderstanding your post.

God does not tell people to murder. If he tells people to kill other people, it's not murder.

Checkmate, atheists.
