I know you're not one of them, but many people still believe in Noah's ark.
And for those that don't but still believe in the Bible, well that's just as crazy to me. I admit that amidst all the racism, prejudice, violence, etc... there maybe some good messages hidden in those Bible texts. But what makes you decide those messages are the right one? What makes you realize this can't be true, it's just symbolic, a metaphor, doesn't apply to our times. Not religion. It's the morality that has evolved in current day society that is completely secular but people claim comes from religion. Picking a choosing what's good in the Bible, and claiming it's from God, is just as silly to me as believing Noah's ark happened.
