Study claims ice, not water, kept Jesus afloat
MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) — The New Testament says that Jesus walked on water, but a Florida university professor believes there could be a less miraculous explanation — he walked on a floating piece of ice.

your presupposing that there was even a man named jesus christ to begin with. and even if you do belive there was that dude (which i am personally still not certain about) do you seriously feel the need to investigate these “miracles” that other people supposedly wrote about him after his death (and the recording of those stories is a whole other ball of wax…like, do you believe that one person alone wrote the stories, or that the gospels actually wrote each chapter…were there even gospels at all?).
i guess my point is, why does a serious scientist waste their fucking time trying to disprove or prove these stories anyway? have they not heard of the literary device “parable” before?
Now if we can just figure out that whole flying reindeer thing.

the bible is so pedestrian it couldnt possibly be literature (although john’s revelations give clive barker a run for his money), give me the gilgamesh epic any day.
Whoa! Graybeez taking it hard and deep for the team. I can see the cartoon steam comin’ out his ears through my monitor. Get this kid some valium stat!
tree-fry, we might all be living in a Hammurabi world rather than a christian one had gilgamesh been translated from sumerian to latin before the bible scripts. but alas, the bible won, and that’s what we’re stuck with.
and to j.t. mcneezles…that wasn’t steam coming out of my ears…it was actual seman, a jet-hot blast of sticky white baby butter.
how did you like that?
Gray, this was exactly what I was thinking, but I found the whole article humorous…
i love all the Google ads that show up because of the topic.

it looks like gray misses the point that not everyone believes – as he does – that tales in the bible are just ‘literary devices’; in fact, two thirds of americans believe that miraculous, supernatural events in the bible actually happened.
those people are never going to be convinced that jesus was walking on ice, but the onus is not on the ‘serious scientists’. they put the information out there; it is upon the believers to pick up on it.
i make the effort to click the xian ads when i see them on jawk’s page; it thrills me to think of some ‘new suburban ministries’ having to send jjj a nickel-per-click.
god wants me to be rich?
