Water Walking Christian Drowns in Bathtub
Elroy Willis
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The leader of a group of Christians who practice
water walking drown yesterday in his bathtub after apparently slipping on
a bar of soap.
James Franklin of Los Angeles was found dead in the bathtub by his
wife Betty when she returned home from a trip to the grocery store.
"My husband had a bump on his head which was still bleeding when
I found him," said Mrs. Franklin. "I called 911 but it was too
late for my husband."
Franklin says that her husband had organized a small group of fellow
Christians who were attempting to learn how to walk on water, and
that he spent many hours in their bathroom practicing, but had not
yet mastered the ability.
"My husband loved Jesus, and wanted to be more like him, so he
was trying to walk on water just like Jesus did. He even organized
a group of friends who he hoped would help him learn how to perform
this miracle."
"It was simply God's will that my husband died," said the widow Franklin.
"I don't know what else to think except that my husband is probably
talking to Jesus right now."
"This was a very unfortunate accident, but I'm sure James is in heaven
now," said Leroy Allbright, a member of the group that Franklin had
organized. "I intend to keep practicing until I can actually walk on
water. I just need more faith," he said.

Plus, the wound wouldn't have still been bleeding after he was dead.
But, go right ahead and show up His Unexistedness all you want.

In the year 1628 B.C., a Minoan city was crushed beneath nearly two hundred feet of
volcanic ash on the isle of Thera. Discovered by Spyridon Marinatos in A.D. 1967,
its multistoried apartment dwellings (of which only the lower floors have survived)
would not have looked out of place on a modern street, and were eqipped with such
"modern" conveniences as bathtubs, flush toilets, and, apparently, central heating.
A broken quartz lens hints that these people were inventing telescopes; and it
becomes possible to believe that if not for volcanic upheaval, there might have
been moon landings and television by the time of Christ.

wow, I strongly urge ALL christians to attempt the same thing as Mr.
Franklin did here or alternatively drop the bible and stop believing in
idiocy and stupidifying fiary-tales.

Although the Brits can, at times, outshine the Yanks in nuttiness at
