Darwin: 1, God: 0

Father? I feel someone ought to point out that faith doesn’t quite work that way.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Gah.

Code muncher: 1, Mindfield: 0.

linky dink
You’d think that he’d have gotten a clue when he was, say, knee-deep.

Consider it payback. Fish gotta eat too.

Oh ye of little faith. It said it was 20 minutes by boat, right? Maybe he’s still walking.

I feel so bad that I LOL at this man’s death. But damn… :dubious:

Of course, God could prove he’s got a sense of ironic humor by bringing this guy back to life in three days.

Hard to tread water when you’re nailed to a cross.

But wood floats.

This may not be the advantage it seems if you’re nailed to the wrong side, however.

Not ALL wood floats.

So…

If he floats, then he’s made of wood…

Clearly, he lacked faith. The congregation wins.

So … he must be a witch!

You are so going to hell.
Clearly, you fit right in here.

Burn him!

HE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!

i got better.

“We’d better show him where the rocks are, before he drowns.”

              -punch line to an ancient Catholic joke

Did anyone else read Truly Tasteless Jokes as a kid ?

Q : “What was the Pope’s first miracle ?”
A : “He walked under water.”

Life imitates art !

At times like this, I’m glad the Earth is 70% covered by water. Gives ample opportunities to anybody who wants to try something like this.

I’m trying to imagine how this guy’s “faithful” might spin this news. Maybe they’d say “you’re just being pessimistic - you focus on the fact that he didn’t make it all the way to the island, while we are rewarded for understanding that he did take three whole steps. To us, you might say, the priest is half full of water.”

I’m not sure why the title gives God a score of 0. Seems to me that when a complete idiot removes himself from the ministry, God wins at least one point.

Not to urinate on anyone’s Post Toasties, but I call “banana oil.” I Googled the guy’s name: nothing. No news agency attached to the story, which seems a bit, umm, vague . . . Cute story, and I wish it were true, but . . .
