Ax;
"You're saying its an ancient allegory for something?" Offa; Originally GOD (god is a high priest very human) had it set up so that his oldest son would succeed him (sacerdotal) in playing GOD. There was a successful coup and a priest who was not sacerdotal inherited the position of high priest. This person was Shem and he was Noah's oldest son, however, Shem had two older brothers named Ham and Japheth and it was Ham who was supposed to become GOD. Noah slew his brother (Cain slew Abel) and "took" his wife. Please note that the Patriarch's "took" wives. When Noah took his wife she already had two sons by the sacerdotal son of GOD (who was slain and buried in the sand). Noah's wife was the "Mother of All" and the "Mother of Many" and the chaos created resulted into more than one high priests at the same time qualifying through the same bloodline with this bloodline destined to rule the world. Today we have the "Arabs" and the "Jews" who claim to be descendants of Abraham. The Flood Story is an allegory and in this story Noah used Water (Animals) to overthrow Man with his bloodline mingled with her (Eve) bloodline to control the world (a small area visible from just one mountain and a far cry from the planet earth). The bloodline created generates the "Holy Grail" myth in which the son of GOD must have his mother's "blood of Eve" flowing in his veins. The "Holy Grail" can not be inherited from your father and if a woman carrying the "Holy Grail" has intercourse with a person not carrying the "Holy Grail" she is to be executed as an adulterer. |

Really.
Oh, Amos! Amos, this guy want to talk to you, I think. And I am certain that all of us want to hear the conversation. |

Offa;
Amos and I think for ourselves. You fundies will gang up together because you lack knowledge. When you get into trouble you refer to biblical scholars who refer to each other sharing in their common lack of knowledge. There must be a law against one thinking for oneself. |

In respect to theists I am reluctant to post here because their faith is a good thing and if it serves them well who am I to say that they are wrong? |
