Paging Dr. Occam: If you don't believe in Jesus walking on water, isn't the simplest explanation that the story in question is a metaphor? Or just a flat-out lie?

I mean, really: FREAK ICE FLOES THAT ONLY JESUS KNEW ABOUT HAW HAW STUPID APOSTLES!!~!

So, was Jesus the David Blaine of his times, or is David Blaine the Jesus of ours?

I can walk on water when it freezes
And I can cure a cripple with a prosthesis
So Jesus
Better watch his back

Erm, except that the story goes that he walked on the water in the middle of a storm, saw that his disciples were having a tough go of it trying to row through choppy waters, he walks by, they freak out, he gets in the boat with them, and the storm miraculously stops.

I think they might have mentioned it if they were rowing through ice, no?

Q: what was the slipperiest day in the bible?
A: when Jesus went through Bethlehem on his ass.

Jesus is definitely on thin ice with me.

And now they're saying Judas didn't betray Jesus. Would they make up their minds already?!
