"God sent you a messenger to stay in your truck,"

For the second time, Zimmerman apologized to Trayvon's family but also told Hannity that what happened that night "was all God's plan." Critics pounced on the phrase.

Donna Goerner, a Longwood attorney and former assistant state attorney in Sanford, said Zimmerman's statement probably did not come across the way he intended. But she had a message for him: "From my perspective, God sent you a messenger to stay in your truck," she said, referring to a police dispatcher who told Zimmerman not to follow the teen before the shooting.

"You didn't listen," she said.

...when we can, as a species, put this God shit behind us. It is so beneath our dignity to still pander to this crap.
