Comment on What's the deal the miracles jesus chose to do?

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?

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?

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.

  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.
