    Listened through a history of rome podcast and learned an interesting thing where win was basically like a concentrate so you would mix it with water to drink. Aka. water -> wine.

      Using reasoning like this to remove the supernatural from the Bible rather defeats the entire point, doesn’t it? If Jesus just made Gatorade like anyone else would, that’s a rather unremarkable thing to describe. Hardly worth committing to writing.

        1. I am sure there are countless mundane tasks that are pretty unremarkable.

        2. Does the Bible really have a point? I guess other than brainwashing masses?

        I hope not, because port is my wine of choice and I would be like, “fuck you, Jesus. I wanted to drink that!”
