  They just seem weird. Walk on water, not really that impressive. We fly through the sky these days I’m sure that might blow away some people who lived in jesus times. Heal the sick, that’s like a job you get and I’m sure we pulled many many people back from the brink in our age. Turned water to wine? Raise from the dead. If he was god he had to know these miracles would be kinda lame sauce to people in a few thousand years. Why not like swim in a volcano or lasso the moon?

      Yeah but like when hulk smashed loki around in the first avengers movies that was a much cooler metaphor. When Tony Stark paid everyone’s college that was also inspiring compassion.

      Do better lord of all the universe.

    The point is that they are fucking miracles. It doesn’t matter whether they are “impressive” or “lame” when they prove that the natural laws of the Universe do not apply.

    How the actual fuck is walking on water not impressive? I’m not a Christian, I don’t necessarily believe it happened, but yeah, that would probably blow some people’s minds.

        I mean that’s pretty cool, but it’s a lizard, not a man. You’re saying if you saw a human walk on water you wouldn’t be impressed?

  I had a class in college about Jesus. It was taught by a Catholic priest.

  One thing he said that such with me is that people don’t see the real miracles.

  When they talk about the miracle of the loaves and fish, people talk about how enough food for the multitude was created out of just what a couple people brought for their own lunch. People think the miracle is the creation of food. However this priest pointed out that the real miracle is that people who didn’t know anyone else there gave all they had so that others could eat. Everyone shared so that no one went hungry.

    Jesus = basically Josh, son of Mary and Joe

      … Brother of James, father of Tamika, Joshua and James?

    That sounds like a cool priest, but unfortunately Catholicism is still against gay marriage, meaning they are still discriminating.

      Catholicism across the board isn’t against gay marriage, different people believe different things.

        That’s strange, because the old pope was. I thought he was supposed to be the one defining catholicism more than anybody else.
