Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!
RE: Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!
The Babble really doesn't work as a just-so story. Literalism is boring beyond belief. It is really as beneath us as it is to the better theists who rarely reply because the level of discussion is boring. Still, for most of us, this was the sort of belief held by the people who tried in vain to stamp us with their particular tribal totem.

There is that old tale that atheists are more intelligent than theists. Not necessarily IMO, it's just that theists don't have a cap limit for their stupidity.

What is it about sex in the rain? It just seems like the best idea possible to me.

For that matter, why bother at all with an ark? If blinking every living thing into existence by magic was so easy to do the first time, why not go that route again? Perhaps consider a couple of upgrades?

Well we know that the flood genocide didn't fix the problem because people are just as sinful, if not more, than they were before the flood. God never saw that coming. It's like Jesus when he cast out the demons but they came back in even greater numbers. http://www.thebricktestament.com/the_lif...04_31.html

The entire bible, from the pov of god, is a serious of failures and disappointments. Guy just can't seem to get it right. You'd think he'd be more sympathetic to our condition.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Especially since the flood option did fuck all anyway. The idea, as I understand it, was to cleanse the world of sin and wickedness. Drowning everything under a superocean, except for a (supposedly) breeding population of all the lifeforms that gave rise to the wickedness, makes as much sense as ridding your garden of pernicious weeds by sterilising it with brine and then restocking everything that was originally in the garden including the weeds. If this god was anything other than imaginary, the Universe would truly be fucked.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

People keep ignoring the fact that the flood story clearly states that the countries that existed before the flood continued to exist after the flood. The flood story is actually a story of warfare. It uses water as the symbol for the invading army, which was irresistible just like a real raging flood is. Assyria existed with Adam & Eve and it existed after Noah's flood. The Bible plainly says so.
