Evangelist Preacher Attempts to Walk on Water but Drowns

SexyGreyFox · 7 Sep 2006 at 23:54

Franck Kabele, a 35 year old Evangelist preacher, told his congregation that, following a revelation, he could walk on water as Jesus did in the Bible but drowned soon after the water depth had exceeded his height.

"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," an eyewitness said.

"He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back." His proof of mortality occurred off the local beach in the capital Libreville, Gabon, west Africa.

Tell you what would be a good trick -
If he walked out of the water onto the beach in another weeks time.

You would think someone that daft would have enough air in their head to stay afloat.

Surely if he had any common sense he would have stopped when the water went past his ankles?

He's pre-stashed an oxygen tank under there before he went in. He shall emerge soon!

I can see it now. 'Coming this summer: Jesus walked on water! Moses parted the sea! This guy drowned! The Bible 2'

The sequel is never as good as the original though

I don't find it funny but I find it highly disturbing that someone would throw their life away in such a manner. Scares me to think what was going on in that deluded mind.

Religious extremists are a scary bunch whichever religion is their poison.

hmm if he didnt get to die, he could have now sued Jesus since, when doing that trick, he didnt mention the disclaimer of not to try that ourselves

Seriously though, a mix of both funny and sad...

<pedant>The phrase is 'damp squib'; a form of firework/explosive (ergo the let down wrought by it not lighting through being damp).</pedant>

Now why can’t every other religious fanatic try the same feat?
