Aamon Bundy was all set to go on the lam, taking his anti-government, anti-establishment self underground to avoid the authoritarian hammer of the Big Bad Government for a contempt of court finding.  But then the voice of God Himself told His anti-The Swamp crusader to submit to the hand of law and go to his arraignment hearing in Idaho–so Bundy should literally thank God that he was not thrown in jail.

On Monday, per the Daily Beast, Bundy posted a hyperdramatic public letter to his attorney which sappily laid out his internal dialogue.  “Do I flee Idaho with nothing, leaving all I have for you to take and then start over somewhere else?  Do I grind through the legal process with no funds to really fight back, allowing you and St Luke’s to look justified in your terrible assault on the rights of parents and freedom of speech, just to have everything taken from me anyway?  Do I unite my neighbors, friends and family to physically defend against this terrible assault on liberty and the right to keep the fruits of my labor?  It is hard for me to know what God wants me to do right now, therefore, I have not yet decide if I will be attending the hearing today.”

Later that night, however, Bundy had an epiphany, as he described on his YouTube channel, with the Lord High Almighty telling him to get his butt to the courthouse to avoid a prison cell:  “We started boxing up our house and I just couldn’t see and had been asking the lord for direction and just couldn’t see an end to this and scheduled a moving truck, and the day the moving truck was scheduled to come, I—praying the whole time—the day the moving truck was scheduled to come, I woke up early in the morning.  And I felt very, very clear understanding from God, and I believe and know that that happens […] I felt very clear understanding that I was not to leave Idaho yet, that I was to stay and fight.”
