I think, kaptain, that the point is not the fact that your everyday garden variety Christian cannot walk on water. (Except in New Jersey) Or that they cannot turn water into wine. The point, I believe, is that many self-proclaimed "Christians" operate in a manner that is completely contrary to the teachings of Christ.
Are we fallible? Certainly yes. Do we/will we slip? Most definitely. These things are given. What is being brought into play here is the everyday actions and attitudes of those that profess to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

But, then again...what do I know? I am an Atheist.
