Henry, I think I would rather talk to a satanic athiest than deal with you. At least I can find an thinking, reasonable adult conversation with that crowd, instead of imbicilic, childish rants.
You sound like you never progressed beyond the 6th grade. How sad! If this is the best athiesm can produce (in a person), then where is the selling point? Why should anybody give up on God, no matter which god they serve, if they are going to end up like you?
I think the KKK and the Skinheads are still recruiting. You may be in luck.

This type of thing is rather common in Christianity. Not so common that it happens daily or even weekly but common enough that we have seen a half dozen if not more cases of this in the past 200 years.
The reason for this is simple.
The mindset of those that follow this religion is that there is a God that talks to people and tells them to do some very bizarre things. Then there is the fact that these people are all looking for "The End of The WORLD" Because they are predisposed to thinking that there is going to be come grand end of the world occurance they are far more likely to be sucked into to following people that are self destructive!
A lot of times people that follow a religion do so because that religion excerts a level of control on them that they feel they are lacking.

Either walk on water or make a fool of himself!
Like the snake handlers who suffer fatal injury
also trying to prove obedience to God? Please!
The Bible clearly instructs not to test God by asking for signs
which show lack of faith. So these people inadvertently prove that God's word is true and should be obeyed by NOT imposing material tests and conditions. That is NOT how God and prayer work.
The purpose of prayer is to prepare oneself to be at one with God's will and purpose, not to impose one's own wishes. This man was approaching it all backwards.
I'm sorry someone had to lose his life to prove this point, but thank you for pointing this out if it is a real case. I pray that his congregation receives the real message, so his life is not lost in vain. Very sad that no one stopped him by correcting him in advance, but maybe it's not too late to reach other people with this same backwards thinking about God's will and how it works.

He thought he could walk on water. Just because he obviously had some mental problems doesn't mean all Christians do. God is real. I think it's lame for people to broadcast one fools dimentia as a representation of the whole to make them look bad.

Just because one person has delusions of grandure does not deny the existence of God.
If that person had been homeless on the streets and thoguht that God talked to him he would have just as much right, and been just as insane.
If God were to talk to someone, I doubt it would be to tell him to go brag about it and show off.

Tell me, if you don't believe in god, then who made the world? The world and the things in it are made of matter. Matter that cannot be created. God is believed to be an all loving god that can create anything.

walk on water.
Reminds me of some pastor in the Darwin Awards who tried to walk on water in his bathtub, but slipped on a bar of soap and drowned

If "God" tells anyone he/she can do anything, and it's not written in his Word, the Bible, that person is mistaken and could very well drown.
