I'm sure she isnt the first person to do such a thing, but I'm betting the majority of the others are dead.

Mark, see my immediately preceding post to this one.

I disagree. He wasn't "obviously impressed", he was just obviously bluffing. Invoking the name of ones God is poor situational awareness because it doesnt take into account the BG may not believe in your (or any) god, or worse yet, God may be a sore spot - and trigger (pardon the pun) for him.

Actually, I agree with you. I was trying to make a joke. A small joke. Obviously it was too small to be out by itself.

I have posted in other threads that, because of my profoundly committed Christian faith, I accept that God may call on me to be the agent of my own deliverance so I should be prepared for that possibility; or... He may call on someone else to be the agent of my deliverance, even someone who does not believe in Him; or... He may be done with me here in this life, and no amount of preparation on my part or anyone else's will make a bit of difference in the outcome. I'm actually OK with all three possibilities.

Foolish or not, the gunman was obviously impressed and did not want to go meet his Maker having murdered a woman for rebuking him in that Maker's name.
