Conversations With My Boyfriend
Me: You know what one of the distinct advantages of walking on water would be?
BF: Are there any disadvantages to walking on water?
Me: Huh, no, I guess not. But one of the advantages is that you can get where you're going without any physical barriers or obstacles.
BF: Maybe that's why Jesus did it.
Me: Yeah, to get from point A to point B.

Ah, but you're assuming the water is calm. I would think water walking would be a bit cumbersome. All those waves and ripples to trip you up.
Disadvantages:
Never being able to swim
Not getting the foot bath before a foot massage
The smell
As a freediver I could use this in getting quickly to a given spot, but I would have to be able to turn it off and on at will.
Congratulations on another CWMB entry.
Why did Jesus walk on water?
To get to the other side, of course. That was probably how the chicken-crossing-road joke started. Just a theory.
No, that was Moses. Jesus did it just to show off.
Yeah, that's right. That Jesus, always after the most attention.
Other possible reasons Jesus did it. To freak out his disciples. That prankster. Or, to be alone. Nowhere else could he avoid the crowds that by that time were hounding his every waking step.
After further research, my first entry was from the late '70's. Here's a replacement entry from '03.
