He specifically walked on water during a storm, and assuming he wasn't violently moving up and down, he was moving independently of the water, so i expect he would stand still

If he didn't get affected by the moving water, does that mean he's not walking on water but on air? He's a skywalker.

Probably closer to a Cleric than a Wizard

Well, Jerry and George are Jewish so it still makes sense they'd be puzzled.

"if a Palestinian were walking on water, our weapons could easily target them. Next question."

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In case you wonder why the Israeli government can get away with calling all of their detractors anti-semites, it's because of morons like you saying anti-semitic things like this.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nothing antisemitic about what I said, you just didn't like it.

Sure, Great Mind.

Explain how implying these two American Jews would be happy gunning down Palestinians, very clearly just because they're Jewish and therefore Israeli in some way with the "our" line, isn't anti-semitic?

Especially in this thread that had absolutely no reason to go there?

I'd say this will be good, but we both know you're just going spew the shit that fills your entire being all over the floor.

??? Conflating Jews with Israel isn't anti-semetic?

They aren't puzzled because they don't know the answer. They are staring at him wondering what's wrong with him.

It's been a while since I've been to church. I thought the storm calmed when Jesus appeared?

[–] Pegajace@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nah, in two of the three Gospels that contain the story, the storm only calms after Jesus gets in the boat. One of them adds a bit where Peter walks out into the storm to meet him. In the third, the boat is just… instantly at its destination once Jesus boards, with no mention of the storm calming.

You might be confusing the separate instance of Jesus sleeping in a boat during a storm and commanding the waters to be still after the disciples wake him.
