To quote, GOD declares "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."

So, He says repeatedly to us all - trust and obey - and you will never fail. (Psalm 37:5, Isaiah 26:3, Proverbs 3:6, etc), and also, "without faith it is impossible to please Him" - Hebrews 11:6

God has never ‘historically’ done anything.

What's your take on the nation of Israel and its origins?

And there's always some flaming dumbass or other who believes that shit. They stay alive because people won't kill them, they don't deserve the peace.

How sweet and humane of you.  Would you wish the same (death and no peace), for say - your mother if she believed something different than you? I pity you for the hate you manifest.

And yeah, verily, the fruit wound its way through the valley of the shadow of digestion and emerged once more unto the universe as a very stinky fart.

People - nomads and farmers - gradually drifted into the area and settled it. Not sure I understand your question.

RE: Noah and animals
And yet more troglodyre bullshit -


Take 2 animals. Any vertibrate land animal.

Using ONLY those two animals - breed 20 generations of offspring.


You know what you get?


I dunno - but I'll bet the inbred freak wants to move to Arkansas.....

Was Noah worshiping animals?

You know how it is: every good piece of fiction contains a disaster or at least the threat of disaster. That's why the Bible is filled with disasters.

In some Bible stories creating suspense when something one character does not want to take place and creates the suspense, and that rouses the interest of the reader (will he kill his child, will brothers recognize David, will Herod cut John's head, etc.)
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"

Because God told him to, and that’s reason enough for any nutter. We know he was a nutter because it never occurred to him to ask why God couldn’t just re-create the animals after the Flood.

Noah was very, very stupid.

Boru

I see him as a traitor to humanity.

If even a bonified god told me to help him set the stage for genocide, I would try to end it instead of my race.

I cannot get Christians to think the same way as they put their genocidal god above man.

RE: Noah and animals
The characters in magic book are one dimensional cutouts - but if we considered noahs predicament from the point of view of a real human being with a real human family - we might wonder whether or not he was okay with this thing killing everything - but we would also have to contend with the selfish motivations noah could have for going along with the scheme.

Rinse and repeat for any transactional character in any of the magic books. Abraham on up.

We all have floors and ceiling, me..I might criticize the methods of a god which used it's cosmic authority to curse the oppressors of humanity with hilariously embarrassing public health issues - but I wouldn't stand in it's way.
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!

Yes, but would you finish the Arc and help further god's genocide o9r not and try to thwart him?

That was rhetorical. I doubt that any decent man would finish the Arc.
