Yeah, "the crazy shit religious people say". Listen to any priest for few minutes and you'll realize that he believes a word is a fairytale.
I mean talking about flood, here's a video where a woman asks a priest if COVID-19 was sent by virgin Mary and God as punishment for sins, to which he starts saying how he's not sure because when New Orleans was flooded many people said it was God punishing it for Mardi Gras, but, he notes, the most sinful places like bars and striptease clubs were spared so "it's hard to say"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
