I can walk like Jesus!

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm...name_page.html

A PRIEST has died after trying to demonstrate how Jesus walked on water.

Evangelist preacher Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle.

But he drowned after walking out to sea from a beach in the capital Libreville in Gabon, west Africa.

One eyewitness said: "He told churchgoers he'd had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus.

"He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat.

"He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back."

I'm not entirely sure if this is real. But I wouldn't be terribly surprised.

EDIT: Same story from another source. I'm leaning towards real.

If you could have any Jesus power the obvious choice is clearly making booze from water.

Of all the miracles to try and duplicate this probably wasn't the best one.

I can't believe some people think they can actually walk on water.

Hmm... I wonder if his followers have suddenly lost their faith in God?

This article tickled my fancy, in a terrible yet amused way. :p

I dunno if I should laugh or cry. But yes, religion can be very funny in a "I feel like crying" way. :jess:

Propaganda. Watch how the media influences us now. We will all say that this load of crap is real...I doubt it is.
08-31-2006, 10:55 PM
Ouch!

Really? I was always under the impression that the media was controlled mostly by religious conservatives.

I wouldn't blame it all on the religion. That person would've been mentally ill anyway and probably would've found another stupid way to get himself killed. Maniacs just have a lot of faith. What bothers me more is that someone let him become a priest.

I'm glad I don't follow any religion whatsoever.

I wonder if God would class that as suicide, an send him straight to Hell?

But JESUS came to him in a dream! Surely Jesus can do such things, right?

Dumbass. We all know Jesus mastered a special dance to be able to walk on water. This priest was obviously a drunken pot-head!

I believe one can walk on water. However, one must make sure that the water is frozen before attempting this. :eep:

I bet the guy was playing a joke to see if someone followed him he probably had a bail out bottle hidden in his clothes and now the guy is going to be famous for being an idiot.

Perhaps he'll be experience resurrection after a couple days.

Jesus better resurrect soon or his body will be all decayed and he'll have trouble standing up.

I'd rather be called into the Christ's office than go to third period. The Bible says my Intelligent Designology teacher's going to be a shmuck anyway.

Well, in a sense, the priest did do something that Jesus definately did himself - die.

So he didn't fail completely...

Jesus was obviously less dense than water, duh.

Dumb bastard, even if he could before, trying to show off was his downfall.

Hahahaha! I actually laughed out loud when I read this. I could picture some religious figure decked out in robes just slowly dissipate beneath the water and never return.

Eerie humor. But, you have to think: If this is real, this guy must have been determined not to re-surface. Maybe he thought he had to prove something to his God. A faith driven guy, I guess.

Pfft, you guys just don't appreciate his faith. Jesus told him in a dream! What more could be possibly done to convince him?

It is run via money. Like Organised Religion. This story boggles my mind, he thought he could do what Jesus could.

Imagine if he succeded; I would think if people thought it through, they would beleive less in religion. It is amazing, how one brain can weight 5lbs and do a lot of work; while 50 million brains can way 250 million bounds and do less work.
