I can walk like Jesus!

<i>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>

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

Gotta love religion.

This is just...wow. That's all I can say.

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

Now that's a bunch of stupid.

**LunarWeaver** · 08-31-2006, 10:48 PM

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.

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

Propaganda. Watch how the media influences us now. We will all say that this load of crap is real...I doubt it is.

**Ouch!** · 08-31-2006, 10:55 PM

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

**Sergeant Hartman** · 08-31-2006, 10:56 PM

Religion fails.

**Levian** · 08-31-2006, 10:57 PM

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.

**The Devil Man** · 08-31-2006, 10:57 PM

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

**Raistlin** · 08-31-2006, 10:59 PM

Verified by Google search. <a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51760">It looks real</a>.

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