Evangelist drowns trying to walk on water
Pastor reportedly told congregation he could repeat miracle of Jesus
August 30, 2006
An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus' miracle of walking on water has reportedly drowned off the western coast of Africa.
Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle, and he attempted it from a beach in Gabon's capital of Libreville.
"He told churchgoers he'd had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus," an eyewitness told the Glasgow Daily Record.
"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."
The New Testament records the story of Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee as he approached his disciples in a boat.
"And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea." (Matthew 14:25)
As WND reported in April, a researcher at Florida State University believes he has a natural explanation for the account of Jesus' miraculous walk on the surface of water – ice.
Professor of Oceanography Doron Nof and the co-authors of his study theorize that a rare combination of optimal water and atmospheric conditions resulted in a unique, localized freezing phenomenon called "springs ice," according to Physorg.com, which specializes in news about science, technology, physics and space.

hahaha I just got it.
I'm "A Ghost" because a certain somebody that runs a certain website "murdered" my last username because I fought with a certain moderator. (Which I had the right to get back at him for dissing me)
But Im over that now, so now I'm "A Ghost" free to haunt the boards here. if you notice I don't show up on the userlist when Im online.
I like that little extra touch.

And as far as being an atheist, when I can literally drive to a spot where someone got thier head blown off in a dirty scummy slum, yet 2 blocks up it's the suburbs with bake sales and soccer moms acting like everything is "Hunky Dory" and when I watch the news at night and I hear about little babies getting killed and little ass kids getting their heads blown off while riding their bikes down the street... ...you kind of lose faith after a while....
