He shouldn't give up. Probably took mozes a few tries. History books often skip over those kind of details.

I'm cracking up at the idea of Moses's community watching him like "see that, he's at it again. Its been 3 weeks now"

Different people need this man's confidence.

Does he remind anyone else of the bad guy in The Mask?

Eh... maybe if it was split between multiple people. I don't think anyone needs this much confidence.

How much confidence does it take to walk into the ocean? The stakes seem pretty low to me. Now, if that had been a furnace like that other Bible story then we'd be cooking, literally and metaphorically.

What confidence? He didn't even see it through. God would have parted the sea for him if he had held his ground. He just didn't have enough faith, that's all.

I see no Beyblade, that's the reason he failed.

He was weak of faith... Should have stood his ground with true faith, only then would it have parted but the devil prayed on his lack of conviction and made him run /s

Who would the devil pray to?

Clearly didn't have enough faith. He should keep trying.

Instead of parting it he should have tried to convert it

Imagine the rip just pulled him out to sea, never to be seen again? Yikes.

If only he had cut off his foreskin! God really hates those.

It was worth a shot.

I watched it to the end to see if he could do it. That's where I am now.
