6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the
face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and
the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect
in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled
with violence.

6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me;
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.



Umm.. You get the sense that God is psychotic, and schitzophrenic, not to mention a total fuck up? I mean here he is, master of the universe and in barely 1000 years, he feels his greatest work is totally destroyed because flesh is weak and tainted... And who made the Flesh? Hmm. Not just people either. Animals too. Then he goes off and blames his creations for his own failures. AGAIN. He's like that useless manager in a large company that speaks in buzzwords and blames everyone but himself.

Wow. What a loser. Why do people worship him again?

Why do people worship him again?

Because they're losers just like god?

If you take it that God does exist, then as far as I've been able to work out he's either a liar or a sadist.

Though I feel compelled to share one of the most usefull sentances I've found for dealing with bible-bashers on the streets when they tell you what's going to happen to you if you don't come to church, beleive, stop looking at girls in short skirts..
"Sure, but we've only got his word for it."

The look of shock and confusion is priceless. I know it's destroying someones faith, but I did tell them I didn't want to talk.

'Cause there's this very human tendency to assume deity/ies are out to get you. I think that's timeless. People don't go okay, G-d sets this stuff in motion, but isn't there controlling the minutae of every illness, flood, or NASCAR victory. This reminds me a little of a discussion about Jewish polytheism I was in, a while back.

The whole scene with Noah has made me visualize God as sort of a Woody Allen kind of character. Gangly, nerdy, filled with self-hate and repeatedly screwing up. Not to mention he has a thing for sleeping with young girls.
