“We still don’t understand how this happened because he fasted and prayed the whole week.”

Says it all really, doesn't it Wolfie !

[wolf63]

I am not sure that the story is entirely true - but idiots like this are why the Crocodiles will outlive the Humans.

[Baldric]

All that was left of him when they finished eating him is a pair of sandals and his underwear floating above the water

Above the water, a minor miracle in itself!

[Teacup99]

This has to be a spoof.

[mushroom25]

ten out of ten for self-belief though.....

[naomi24]

Teacup, I don't think it's a spoof. The story is being carried by a lot of newspapers.

Members of the church said "We still don’t understand how this happened because he fasted and prayed the whole week.” It doesn't occur to them that praying and fasting simply don't work.

[Khandro]

n. // It doesn't occur to them that praying and fasting simply don't work. //
Well, not for them, but it worked for the crocodiles, - they were praying for lunch.

BTW, Jesus walked BY the water not on it, it's a mistranslation

[naomi24]

Khandro, //BTW, Jesus walked BY the water not on it, it's a mistranslation //

That's debateable.

[New Judge]

The Good Lord moves in mysterious ways. He giveth and he taketh away.

Of course his fasting may have made him a little less attractive to the crocodiles but I suppose if he had a good bit of meat on him before he starved himself it was still worth the crocs’ efforts.

[andy-hughes]

Khandro - //BTW, Jesus walked BY the water not on it, it's a mistranslation //

Since it is 'reported' - who knows which version is accurate, the 'original', or the 're-translated' version which you appear to take as gospel - pardon the pun.

[dannyk13]

He certainly qualifies for the award.

[EDDIE51]

He should have remembered that there are no crocodiles in Israel !

[Baldric]

Really,

I can turn wine into water!

[Baldric]

3T, now you're taking the P!

[Mamyalynne]

A sad story.

[mikey4444]

The more I think about this, the less I am convinced its true.

Does anybody have any other source for this story ?

[Baldric]

There's a few here

Do you not Google Mikey?

[naomi24]

Baldric, I said earlier that the story is being carried by a lot of newspapers, but Mikey doesn't seem to read other people's posts.

[Baldric]

Funnily enough Naomi, I said that about him on another thread earlier ;o)
