Sad that the priest's last action on Earth had to be sacreligious.

Funny though.

Look what religion does to people LOL

I once had a dream where Virgin Mary told me that if I have enough faith I can walk form the top of the Empire State to the next skyscraper. Should I try? Confused

¿You know?, that reminded me of several cases. For example, a girl (I don't remember her ordunary name, but they call her "Sor Teresa de los Andes". She was declared saint or someting like that. But she never did anything, she spent her life confinated in a monastery, having this "visions" all the time. A while ago, because of my girlfriend being too sick and her family being too religious, I had to visit the sanctuary that has been built in her honor (Sor Teresa, not my girlfriend). They sanctuary is filled with the things that girl use to say... it all looks like the kind of things that would make you visit a psichyatrist (or being forced to). Now, I don't want to say that every religious person is a poor demented individual, but...

Remember - the Lord, Thy God said unto Moses "Come Forth"

But he came fifth & only won a teapot!

A lesson for us all there, I'm sure you'll agree

Okay, I respect that people believe in that stuff, but when people tries to re-create "miracles" that Jesus was able to do, it's going to far and silly. What an idiot

KAS:

"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God." Amen. However, the priest's problem was that his faith was not even the size of a mustard seed: "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."

As for those who do not believe that the miracles of Jesus - and other mircales - could be done, consider: "He that believeth on me, the works [incl. miracles] that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do." (Emphasis mine)

The priest failed because (i) his faith was not as great as he thought, and (ii) without being facetious, he did not know when to accept this, and return.

Peace.

this reminds me of a joke:

there was once a very religious man living in a town that had flooded. the waters had risen so he had to take shelter upon his roof. one of his neighbors paddled by in a canoe and called to him, "Hey, Frank! Why don't I come over and pick you up and take you to dry land?"

The man waved him away with a smile, "No thanks, friend! I appreciate the offer, but I believe God will take care of me!"

So the guy paddled off.

The waters had rose to where Frank was sitting in water and another man was riding along in a boat with a small motor. Seeing Frank's plight, he called out, "Hey, mister! I'll be right over to get you and take you to dry land!"

Frank again declined with a smile, "No thanks, friend! I appreciate the offer, but I believe God will take care of me!"

So the man wished Frank luck and left.

Soon the waters were up to Frank's chest and some emergency personnel in a motorised raft spotted him, "Sir! It is not safe for you to be here! We will take you to dry land where you can get some shelter and food!"

Frank again smiled and waved them off, "Go rescue a soul in more trouble than me! I appreciate the offer, but I believe God will take care of me!"

So the emergency raft headed off to find other victims of the flood.

The water reached was up to Frank's chin when a rescue helicopter spotted him and a man called to him with a bullhorn, "We'll throw you a rope, mister, and get you out of there in a jiffy!"

Frank again smiling as he declind, "No thanks, friend! I appreciate the offer, but I believe God will take care of me!"

So, the helicopter crew reluctantly left.

Finally, Frank drowned.

He found himself in the peaceful realms of heaven and there he met God face to face.

"God," Frank asked sadly, "All of my life, I did my best to follow your word and live the life that your Son Jesus had preached to mankind. I prayed and was charitable and believed strongly that in times of trouble, you would take care of me. Why did you let me drown?"

To which God responded, "Look, Frank-I sent you a canoe, two boats and a helicopter! You turned them down! Wtf?"
