What the allegory means to Christians: Jesus is the chosen one, he has supernatural powers, he rules over everything, he will calm your storms, and if you walk with him and remain faithful, you will know serenity.

What the allegory means to Patty: Them damn egotistical men always walking on water and asking to be worshiped! Who this Jesus fella thinks he is? Haul your ass back to shore and leave me alone. I aint asked to be rescued by no man!

I didn't ask what the allegory means to Christians. I asked what do y'all think it really means. Pay attention.

And you sure feel uncomfortable with anybody knowing truth about men like you.  ::LOL::

But for what it's worth Trini,

That was an excellent assertion of the overall idea of Jesus and Christianity. 

That's very good.

You wouldn't deny me.

You're such a liar.  ::LOL::

It means he is not like we are, he was able to walk on water when his disciples looked on in amazement. It was a miracle and it speaks of the possibilities which exist when you believe and have faith.

That's a nice try.

What it really means to Christians is not what it really means? There are other real meanings? If there are many real meanings, which is the real real meaning? Are you really sure that the real real meaning isn't just a real meaning?

What "truth about myself" do you think I am uncomfortable with?

I don't think anyone disagrees with your "negative view of mankind". They disagree with your generalizations, solutions and analyses, and the way you simplify complex issues into a kind of superficial misandry.

You said it yourself.

You're egotistic and need to be worshipped.

That's what you're uncomfortable with women knowing about you and other men like you.

Every man like you feels that same way. They don't want to be viewed as they really are.

And yeah,

There's a real meaning to allegories. Which is why I started this thread.

Allegory is a type of story telling.

Particularly stories about common human characteristics and living patterns that most people don't want to hear about.
