There are cheaper methods and it would last much longer than 10 years.

It's fable borrowed from much older texts, probably Sumerian, just like the flood fable and the guy who started all this gibberish, Abraham..
So what, it had a certain sequence to it. If you can't get it right, don't comment on it. Or anything you want others to take seriously LOL

''Lot's daughters got him drunk and the seduced him''

Heck, for that matter, Judah father Perez from his own daughter. That's how the Jewish line began.

And how do you know these things about Noah? Do you think a guy who can build an ark in a day or two and get a pair of all living creatures aboard must have had some moments of sobriety.

That is what the Bible says, JLM. Noah was not a nice man.

Ironsides, this reminds me of something similar I read about 30 years ago. It began:

In the beginning, God created Heaven and earth.

Whereupon he was slapped with a class action lawsuit. He was given a temporary permit for Heaven part of the project, and was issued with cease and desist order for earth part of the project.

Then it described all the difficulties that God encountered, all the licenses, permits (burning permit etc.), permissions etc. that he had to get. In the end, God said “To Hell with it.”

As luck would have it, being on ignore does have it's benefits.
"In the end, God said “To Hell with it.”" is not how the story ends for God, that is the beginning of sorrow for fallen ones, Earthly and Angelic Beings before the fire engulfs them. For men they eventually pass through the fire and then into Heaven. The other side of the fire gets much hotter for condemned angels. The afflictions of the 5th and 6th trumps is as good a summary as any other passage when the topic is when things really go wrong.
M't:8:29:
And,
behold,
they cried out,
saying,
What have we to do with thee,
Jesus, thou Son of God?
art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

These devils knew even then what was going to come down eventually.

This is what actually happens when God says “To Hell with it.” it=somebody

Isa:65:12:
Therefore will I number you to the sword,
and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:
because when I called,
ye did not answer;
when I spake,
ye did not hear;
but did evil before mine eyes,
and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Isa:65:13:
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold,
my servants shall eat,
but ye shall be hungry:
behold,
my servants shall drink,
but ye shall be thirsty:
behold,
my servants shall rejoice,
but ye shall be ashamed:
Isa:65:14:
Behold,
my servants shall sing for joy of heart,
but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart,
and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
Isa:65:15:
And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen:
for the Lord GOD shall slay thee,
and call his servants by another name:

As later verses in this same chapter verify, being sent away at this time is not a forever 'good-bye', God has yet to offer them a place in His Kingdom, even this late in the action.

Isa:65:23:
They shall not labour in vain,
nor bring forth for trouble;
for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD,
and their offspring with them.
Isa:65:24:
And it shall come to pass,
that before they call,
I will answer;
and while they are yet speaking,
I will hear.

It is SJP's choice not to read my posts.........please try and keep it that way for his sake.

If you should be leary of a Christian spouting Scripture then how much more leary of an Atheist spouting the same book (but in a different meaning if it is checked out by the reader)?

never mind, the argument wouldn't be worth it...
just post the verse that puts him in error, atheists hate actual Scripture. I think they view is as some sort of exorcism type of thing and against their permission to 'use it' on them.
Ge:9 has him getting drunk one time. That event was picked up again after Exodus and involved the taking of the land destined to be called Israel.

Atheists don't hate scripture, atheists don't hate anything in particular. Do they? Maybe they do. I never asked. What the hell is an atheist anyway and why do they have to be labeled to distinguish them from theists. I suppose I'll have to look that up by my onlyist. The flood story is a fact. There was a great big flood. Lots of things disappeared. Every culture on earth has a flood story. Near as I can fathom there will be new flood stories anon. Very similar to the old ones. There's only so much variation in global floods I guess. When the big tsunami slips accross the lands, all will die, except me, I got an underseaboot.

That is true, darkbeaver. I myself think that a great big flood did occur (Noah’s story is of course, just that, a story, a fable).

Actually there is a story similar to Noah’s story in Hindu mythology, it wouldn’t surprise me if Noah’s story was taken from there.
