Should we take the miracle of the loaves and fishes seriously? [Spirituality & Religion]

Quite apart from the supernatural element, are we to believe that thousands of people were following Jesus around for days and none of them brought food?🤔
I guess they brought water though because there's no miracle of the water bottles.

If Jesus were really omnipotent, he could've created water bottles.

Seriously, though, as it was explained to me by a Jesuit priest, the miracle wasn't in multiplying loaves and fishes. The good act was that Jesus convinced those with some to share with those who had none regardless of culture or status. Not an easy thing to do even today in the culture of "I got mine."

@Graylight I would seriously consider the sharing a greater miracle actually :/

@canusernamebemyusername I always have. People get so furious and worked up about the Bible. If you take it as infallible, great. If you think it's trash, fine. Haven't we waged enough war over it?

Take the best, leave the rest behind.

lol nah, i would definitely consider violating the laws of physics to be a greater miracle.
