Maybe a few bars of soap and an instruction manual on how to make it would have been more helpful to Mankind than a f***** shedful of wine.
Just saying!

@THExXKuBa It feels amazing!

This pericope has also been diegetically transposed from the sources on Caesar's civil war. In Spain he also turned water into wine (jars at the feast in Pompey's camp). All the properties are already in the Caesar sources.

@duffry I'm not talking about legitimate theists/atheists with whom one may have a heated (but civilized) debate. I'm talking about the trolls who spout obscenities at and attack anyone who happens to believe in god, and wish to discuss the matter.

@duffry I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "valid". I don't believe in any Biblical miracles, so in that sense I don't think the water-into-wine story is *true*. But I know what effect this story had on me as a young child, and that's the only benchmark I have for its validity - it made me think that Jesus is a very special man, capable of "real" magic. I didn't have much sense of symbolism when I was 4.

@Falcrist I agree, this video is historically and socially interesting but religiously bland. Possibly a good thing.

@Squagnut Would this not be true of any interpretation? How would you determine the validity of any?
Do you have a particular interpretation you consider valid?
How does it feel to devote your life to an imaginary, celestial figure?

@dangerouslytalented Yep, that's what the video says.
