Reply to comment by twenty-six-sixty-six in Proud Boys expected to "protest" two local Drag Story Hour events by MoreCleverUserName

You’re surprised at the guy’s race but not the physics-defying act of walking on water?

jesus is actually depicted as walking on water, so it's correct to point that out, but he's not depicted as belonging to an anachronistic racial category, so I thought it was worth correcting that point

I think walking on water is best seen as a very effective literary device, rather than a literal description of an event that took place

also walking on water isn't necessarily physics-defying, for example certain insects do it, as in the notorious W. B. Yeats poem -- and if it gets cold enough it's a pretty ordinary thing to do
