Criticism

I propose a Criticism section for this article. It could include this quote:

“Experts in the truth about these places (in Galilee) report that there is no sea there, though they do refer to a small, river-fed lake at the foot of the mountain in Galilee near the city Tiberias, a lake easily traversed in small canoes in no more than two hours and insufficiently capacious for waves or storms. So Mark greatly exaggerates the truth when he ludicrously composes this fiction of a nine-hour journey and Jesus striding upon (the water) on the tenth (the tenth hour, “the fourth watch of the night”) to find his disciples sailing on the pond. Then he calls it (a sea), not merely a sea but one beset by storms, dreadfully wild, and terrifyingly agitated by the heaving of the waves, so that from these details he could represent Christ as performing a great sign, namely, calming a mighty and violent storm and rescuing his scarcely endangered disciples from the deep and open sea.” (Porphyry, Contra Christianos, fragment 55 trans. by MacDonald) http://www.nazarethmyth.info/Fitzgerald2010HM.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Personman2 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a WP:RS source, and can not be used. History2007 (talk) 20:24, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Watch Simcha Jacobovici's Decoding the Ancients Episode 4 - The Lost Voyage of Jesus. They were not at Galilee or anywhere near it. This story actually takes place in Spain, and the storm was on the Mediterranean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.121.151.43 (talk) 05:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The show you mentioned does not look like a reputable source; rather, it seems like something engineered with the express purpose of trying to discredit Christianity. Don't trust it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.217.122.179 (talk) 16:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
