"Don't Try This at Home!"

should be on the cover of every bible out there.

Yes, another one bit the dust, er, algae. http://www.reportghananews.com/nigerian-pastor-tries-to-walk-on-water-like-jesus-then-drowns-in-front-of-his-congregation/

The photo with the story is a wonderful added touch.

Still, I doubt his congregation will wonder if he was wrong about other things, like the persecution of women as witches and gays as themselves.

you can't tell someone their religious beliefs are wrong unless you can prove it. If someone truly believes they can walk on water, maybe they can - you don't know for sure!

OK, well, we do in this guy's case I guess. But not if someone else claims it!
