His own embellishments exaggerate the size and scope of the story. The story is improvised upon by various people for several years. Hundred years later it was a giant boat and a massive flood. Thousand years later it is a massive boat and a global flood and saving 2 of every animal and his family and incest to restore the population and the flood covering the mountains and etc.
How come you're talking to me as if I'm a theist who didnt know that?....

Speaking only for myself, the majority I remember are selfish, chaotic, conflicting, surviving, and if the character wasn't my focal point of view: often 'evil'. The circumstances for many would be quite gruesome or sickening, depending on who you talk to.
If my kid came up with any idea resembling the Bible, I'd have the child committed tomorrow without question. I dont really care what messed up children could come up with, a totalitarian, jealous, violent, capricious god is not in the imagination of a normal mentally healthy child. It reminds me of the 16 year old girl who just killed a 9 year old girl in Missouri and her callousness reflects whats in religious texts, this is partially a quote from the killer teen "It wasnt so bad after the whole oh my gawh im killing someone feeling, then it was awesome, i slashed her throat, stabbed her and strangled her....k, well im gonna go to church now, lol"

I never said religious texts werent cooperative, very irrelevant, just like how you felt the need to write about how stories are distorted as if I was arguing against you.. hmm anyway again if my kid came up with that I know I probably failed as a parent because the bible is the worst fucking book I've ever read...and i havnt even started the old testament or the quran yet...
