JACKSON, Miss. -- A man who is accused of posting online threats to assassinate President Barack Obama says he’s competent to stand trial.
Steven Joseph Christopher testified in federal court Monday that he’s the messiah but said that he never had plans or the ability to hurt Obama. Christopher, of Wisconsin, was arrested in January by the Secret Service in Brookhaven and was charged with threatening to assassinate Obama for what he claimed was "the country's own good," according to federal prosecutors.
A news release said Christopher made the threats Jan. 11 and 15 on the Web site www.alien-earth.org. The video has also appeared on YouTube.
Christopher said the threats were an effort to get his platform out. He said that the world will be destroyed by fire on Dec. 12, 2012 and that the only safe place will be central Australia, where he will lead the survivors as the messiah.
Rodolfo Buigas, a forensic psychologist for the Bureau of Prisons, testified during Monday’s hearing that Christopher understands that the threats were wrong, but said that he is delusional and therefore not competent to stand trial.
During Buigas' testimony, Christopher yelled out in the courtroom and called him a liar. Christopher’s attorney said that two grad students had interviewed Christopher and said Buigas had only spoken with him for a few minutes.
Christopher’s attorney argued that his client is competent to stand trial.
Judge Henry Wingate will resume testimony about Christopher’s competency to stand trial on Tuesday before making a ruling.

Central Australia? That sounds kind of dry and dusty, not really my thing. Can’t we make some Caribbean island the “only safe place?”
“But, but...I thought Bambi was the Messiah?”
I can see it now: a court-ordered psychiatrist will prove Christopher clearly is delusional on grounds that his client cannot possibly be the Messiah when everyone knows the real Messiah lives in the WH...
I think that means no obama voter is competent to stand trial, if delusional implies incompetence.
A man in the state of Maryland said he would like to wring the Governors neck , got arrested for saying it and had a $300,000.00 set and will face trial . Martin O’Malley the gov. of Maryland like Obama has made across the board tax hikes in our state and like Obama is likely to be a one term wonder .
Here now! We got too many missiahs running round out there.
Here now!! We got to many messiahs running round out there.
Yep
Matthew 24:4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.....
10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.....
26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather...."
