All Things Bright And Beautiful

[nailedit]

All creatures great and small.

All things wise and wonderful

The Lord God drowned them all.

(Genesis 6-9)

 

Except Satan and his demons. He let them carry on to wreak havoc. Strange God that Christians have...

Almost all.

I doubt you'll succeed - being a Fervent is a serious business, they are not known for their sense of humour.

//Almost all //

Apologies. All except for a floating zoo and an incestuos family with a drunk at the head 😂

Oh I don't know Andy. Theland could be fun at times back in the day....

I suggest naomi meant 'almost all' Christians'' rather than 'almost all' animals, but I could be wrong.

The flood is quite interesting insofar as, in doing what he (allegedly) did, God was admitting he wasn't omniscient - or perfect.  I love these little bits that give you a logical insight into the errors that religion somehow manages to overlook.  The Abraham and Isaac story - and the story of Job - offer similar.  God wasn't very nice at all.

You are.  I meant almost all of everything.  Incidentally, there were no Christians in those days.

And he was obviously a Tory.

The rich man in his mansion 

The poor man at the gate

The good Lord made them what they are

And ordered their estate.

On a series note (as serious as I can be when im drunk as a skunk😂) This story ....when I was a teenage Christian...really bothered me and I never got a satisfatory explanation.

So God was so brassed of with mankind that he decided to drown it. Not only mankind (including babies and children) but animals as well. What the hell had puppies and kittens done to upset God???

So apart from a floating zoo and 8 incestuous people to repopulate the earth, he allowed the most horrific beings (Satan and demons) to continue to exist???

[naomi24]

//he allowed the most horrific beings (Satan and demons) to continue to exist???//

 

Perhaps he wasn't capable of stopping them.   He definitely wasn't all he's cracked up to be.  ;o)

[naomi24]

That's a thought though, nailit.  All these years the faithful have been waiting for that final battle to take place when God will triumph over Satan and peace will reign - and it's still yet to happen.  I can't help asking what God's waiting for?

Its weird naomi. When you are in the grip of religon, you can rationalise anything away. Always wondered how the angel with the flaming sword guarding the garden of Eden fared when the flood came. Is he still there?

And what about the Nephilim. Wernt they destroyed in the flood? And yet they pop up again in the book of Numbers?

God regretted making mankind (so much for been all knowing) and decides to destroy it. And yet no mention of regretting making Satan/demons???

What a load of old pony!

 

[naomi24]

I enjoy trying to rationalise it all.

And which member of Noahs family had gonorrhea? Since the gonorrhea virus cannot exist outside of the human body, at least one member of his family must have had it.

[naomi24]

Oh is that right?  I didn't know that.  Just another little mystery then.

[nailedit]

😂😂

Think about it (the religious won't)

An elderly couple, 3 sons and 3 daughters in law.

Got to repopulate the entire earth in a couple of thousand years,

They must have been humping each other left, right and centre (sideways, backways and upside down as well) to get the population where it is today.

No wonder theres so many STD's about...

[naomi24]

That's just one reason the story is nonsense - just like the Adam and Eve story.

[nailedit]

//just like the Adam and Eve story.//

Another story with more questions than answers naomi.

So God created every animal male and female. Male and female created he him!! Except for Adam? No mate for Adam. God then had to bring every animal before him but no helpmate was found. What did God think? That he might have chosen a goat or something? It was only then that God put adam to sleep and made a magical rib woman from him.

It baffles me now, 40 yrs later, that I ever believed in this rubbish!

[naomi24]

I don't know why I ever took it seriously either.  It wasn't until I started questioning that I realised just how flawed it all is.  Erich von Daniken set me on the path.
