"God told me to run."

Michele Bachmann, the Bush-loving Republican Congressional candidate here in Minesota, may have put a local church's non-profit status in jeopardy when she took to the pulpit to discuss her campaign. The church's pastor personally endorsed Bachmann--a no-no for 501(c)3s--and Bachmann told her story of how "God then called me to run for the United States Congress.'

Congrats to Andy at Minnesota Monitor for breaking this (Huffington Post, Crooks & Liars, and others are linking to our lowly site).

That's your second post on the topic of people being directed to do something by God, by God.

Were you directed by God to post on this?
