Yet you are influenced by what others tell you about the flood?

Have you ever heard the whole baby mammal/egg thing before?

It seems to me that is what religion depends on. You all gather in one place at the same time, repeat the same mindless drivel together, sing the same ridiculous songs together.

It's the epitome of groupthink. Independent thinkers my ass.
religion yes.. Relationship with God... Not so much.

If you're here long enough, you hear every fool thing that people pin their superstitions on. I don't think that your bit is even close to the silliest shit we've heard, not even about the magic boat, if that helps you feel better about it.
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!

Again I can only speak for myself. While I freely admit that religion Can be a group think belief system, So too is science. as I would say there is a tiny percentage of us who are in fact able to 'science' on our own and formulate our own conclusions. Like with religion it can be as shallow as you want or it can go deeper than you are able. It's all about the individual.

Where do you think your shared beliefs fall on that spectrum? Do you think big boats and divine immorality are towards the shallow end, or the deep end?

Hey asshat, every word you utter clearly pageants how you are anything but an independent thinker you are, and showcases what an absolute parrot you are.

You have never had an original thought in your life.

You make brain damaged lemurs look like astrophysicts.

-as an additional point of interest, what are those beliefs doing for you, wherever they fall on that spectrum as you see it? As in, absent those two things being true, what part of your religion...would be endangered? Please note that I'm not asking about your superstitions. Things like a belief in biblical inerrancy and magic and the wondrous exploits of literary heroes. Your religion. How would your understanding of what is sacred and what is taboo, of how to live a good life and how things ought to be...be changed - if you did not believe in big boats, and the moral inscrutability of gods?

I know they don't mix normally (though the conditions were talking about aren't normal) and there is a difference between some flipping rain and getting caught in an apocalyptic level super flood and tossed around in rough seas in a virtually planetary ocean for 30 days so your comparison doesn't work. Also seeds can drown and not all the same reliance. Also only some seeds can go through animal digestive systems so pointing to this is does not support your case.So no it's not a simple case of the shell not being damaged.

They mix really well in superstorms. Ask the gulf coast.

Religion is the mass imposed delusion you have a relationship with god.
