    And wine from water, raising a man from the dead, walked on water, cured leprosy, cured blindness, rose from the dead…

      Yeah but … that is still kind of weak? I mean we are talking about personification of the creator of the universe. Like you spawn some fish to one-time feed people? Couldn’t you like create a lake for generations to come? Or something?

      Also “wine from water” is like … really? You come to Earth with all your power and you solve petty problems like not enough wine at the wedding?

      And for “raising a man from the dead” - Lazarus was his friend. And from the Bible it really sounds like he came to the Bethany just because he was his friend. And I look at this and wedding in Cana and … you came here to Earth just to help your friends? Really? Like could you maybe do something for humanity as a whole? With all this power … and you’re using it for petty problems and helping your friends.

      Like sure, if they’re real then those trully are mirracles. But if you’re son of creator of the entire universe and life as we know it … boy are those weak, weak mirracles

        I mean he was only on earth for 33-ish years. His father had been around since the dawn of man (and then some) in comparison. Maybe bro just hadn’t unlocked his cool powers yet before we killed him? You play RPGs and expect to have level 99 magic at level 33? Cheat code much?

          You’ve got a point. But that would mean we’re praising some low-level noob. Or maybe bro like created a new account and has got skillz but got like a new low level character

            I mean, valuable lesson learned here: keep your shit to yourself. Maybe at least until you get high enough levels to not get killed by a bunch of NPCs.

      5000 people was barely a legion back then - even in the first century of our calendar 5000 wasn’t the world.

      A single undead person.

      Walking on water is lame comparing to spacefaring societies.

      Blindness still exists.

      Becoming undead only to disappear again is not a great accomplishment that justifies eons of worship.

    Sauron was less powerful than Morgoth. It’s the natural order. Nothing to see here, move along

    That story is just about hosting a party and going short. Those were the requested items.
