And how about those fishes and loaves? Bet they were pretty tasty too.

1. When I went hiking in the desert, and found a sweet spring, I thought the water better than wine

2. I was there

It was okay but it was anything to pray home about.
For one thing healing lepers and resurrecting the dead doesn't necessarily improve ones palate.
It was sort of a franziaesq flavor.

3. In fact that was not even a miracle...

That clever dude Jesus had Raisin Kool-Aid and a jar of Everclear hidden under his robe.

4. Nah, it had a label that said "Morgan David".
That's Hebrew for "Bud Lite"

5. No joke, but when I was younger I always figured that it probably
tasted like Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. Don't know why. Just did.

8. Of course it was great wine, says so right there in the Bible
John 2:4

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”


I think it is one of the funnier passages in the Bible, saving the cheap wine for when your guests are already drunk and can't tell the difference.

10. That is funny.
If only cheese had been served with the wine, there may have been a passage referring to Jebus cutting the cheese.

13. As long as it came from a box, Midlo would suck it back, no complaints.

17. It's a good thing Midlo wasn't teh Blessed Virgin at the wedding at Canaan
Or Jesus' first miracle would have included boxed wine.*






*I'm no longer Christian, but the ex-Catholic in mean thinks I may be going to hell for writing this.
