Noah to Jesus. Why did you not intercede? Traitor.

Those who believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis are faced with the reality that Jesus would have been culpable in the genocides of Noah’s day.
One is left wondering why man would then be so eager to follow one with the type of morals that allows one to use genocide on humans.
This is submission by fear as explained by the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
I can understand, to a point, how this type of slave mentality started.
I cannot understand how religionists are still with it.
Any mind that thinks of justice issues would have to wonder what a jury would find if Jesus/God ever shows up again.
Would we find Jesus guilty or not?
Could he justify his genocide of man?
Did Jesus just sort of sit back while He/His Father primed the pump, so to speak, in Noah’s day, thus making him a traitor to the human race, for damn near bringing it to extinction along with the other --innocent -- animals.

Is Jesus guilty of anything?

Wasnt Jesus just a twinkle in his daddys eye when Moses and Noah were around?

Yet children have to be taught how to be good, never how to be bad...

Write your own chapter, that's the beauty of a enduring piece of fiction.

I'm a little rough on my bible history timeline stuff, but it was at least 1,000 years between Genesis and when JC was born.

I'm thinking it's more like 10,000 years or something like that.

How can you blame someone/thing for something that happened thousands of years before they existed. That is, assuming you believe in JC's existance at all.

well God was angry the pharaoh won't let his people go, so he sent a plague (or whatever) on their children. Why their children (specifically the oldest child)?

Pretty much...

As I don't believe in the 'literal' interpretation of the Bible, I always thought the story of Noah pertains to doing something you feel strongly about and naysayers be darned... Standing by your convictions even when everyone around you thinks you're crazy :cool

But what do I know

I have read that the floods, and Moses parting the Red sea were actually pole shifts......which they (Noah and Moses) had knowledge of.

But what do I know.:thumbup

Do you mind if I pick on this post by posing a question? It's not directed at you, just to this line of reasoning.

If people don't take the bible literally, then how can they truly believe there is a god? I mean the bible is used for teaching through parables and stories, so wouldn't it stand to reason that God himself shouldn't be taken literally? Where this no heaven or hell, no god or devil, all just stories to help us lead our lives with love and compassion. :dunno

First of all anytime you use Wikipedia as a reference I cringe.
Secondly, the Bible is a not meant to be taken literally. It's a parable. It tells stories meant to teach a lesson.
Most lessons in the Bible are common sense.
Do good unto others...duh

Why does religion discombobulate the minds of so many people?
I'll tell you why, because religion is bullshit.
Religion takes simple truths and turns them into doctrine that must be followed or you are to burn in the pits of hell (which is apparently in the core of the Earth according to the Siberian diggings) - see YouTube.
Really now, lets all just use a little common sense and stop being such assholes to other people.
I believe in God. I think he's a righteous motherfucker. He doesn't need our approval.
He doesn't need our souls, our souls need him.
He doesn't give a fuck what we do, that's why he gave us the choice to decide for ourselves what kind of human beings we will become.

Everybody needs someone / something to blame. The indians are still blaming all the living white folks for taking their land and they'll be doing it until the end of time.

Well, some people believe that the Bible is the literal word of God. That is certainly their right to do so.

But, wasn't the Bible complied by powerful men around a table? There's a name for this 'conference' but it escapes me. The Books were written by men. Not God. Now, I only had a few years of Christian school as a kid, so I could be mistaken, but I think the only thing supposedly written by "God" was the 10 Commandments which He passed down to Moses.

To your point Tim, the Bible can indeed be a great educator in the pathways of life. If not taken too seriously. Take it too seriously and that's how wars start......

Good thinking.

No one should begin a belief system based on talking snakes and seven headed monsters that are literally real.

The Bible is not the word of God. You're right. It's the word of powerful people who wanted to keep people in line. Why are there so many versions of the bible? Why has the Bible been adapted and adjusted through the years? This is a reason why I personally don't read The Bible and take religious facts with a grain of salt.
