Was Noah insane or a traitor for finishing the Ark?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah

I have tried to imagine myself as Noah.
The way society works today is that the vast majority decide who within its ranks will live or die.
In the days of Noah, the opposite was given unto Noah.
He, in effect, was given power that would destroy all but himself and 7 others.
He decided to use it by finishing the Ark.
Try along with me here to think like Noah.
Pretend that the miracle working super God of scripture just proved himself real to you. and He is right there in your reality, and whatever you believed before has been overshadowed by the reality of God‘s REAL reality.
Now try to believe that the letter Y on the keyboard is the button of destruction.
Would you push that button at the command of an alien, God of love, who is telling you to do a think of great Evil?
A sin of the Highest Order.
PUSH the Y. Push it now!!! Push!!!!
I think one would be insane to push the Y.
Scripture shows Noah as, arguably, a traitor to his race and species.
Jesus as well.
It also makes God look rather incompetent as a farmer of souls. Only 8 out of millions planted.
Unless the prize was worth it.
What could that prize be?
Do ye not know that ye are Gods?
Is that the prize fellow Gods.


Question.

Would you do what Noah did?

Noah was on direct orders from the Man himself....and if HE told me to build him an Ark, I would do it

So would I

If I heard god telling me to build an ark I'd probably get myself checked up for schizophrenia at my local hospital.

 

[Zorak]

my ark would be twice as good as Noah's.

It'd have blackjack.

God ordered Noah to build an Ark, it wasn't a matter up for debate. If I was instructed by the boss to do something, I wouldn't argue with him.

You're looking at the matter like you're Amnesty International. You have to try to put yourself in the shoes of God. God saw that humans were sinning against him. The wage of sin is death. God was carrying out Justice.

I see.
So you would not question some alien force or what you believe to be God and you would just go ahead and push the button, so to speak, and kill of all those you know and the rest of the world?

You would not plead for humanity or wonder why God would want to murder them?

Your stomach is stronger than mine.

Your mind, much weaker. Your morals, non existing.

If you could do it.

From my POV of course.

If you had an evil child, would you cure it or kill it?

Your God of love would rather kill than cure.
Quite the doctor and parent.
Father I am sick with the evil you created.
Poof, -----your dead and cured.
If a God who knows the future as God is supposed to then only an idiot God would do something He will regret.
Especially if it will earn Him the title of genocidal maniac.
That God, only fools would follow.

Can a child sin?
Can a baby sin?
Can animals sin?

All of these were innocent of sin and were murdered along with the evil ones that God created.

Why create something only to destroy it?

The whole Noahs Ark thing is one of the most preposterous things in the Bible. As has already been mentioned, why does anyone look favourable upon a god who committed world wide genocide. I've heard Christians trying to explain that away by pointing out that god warned everyone through Noah and gave them the opportunity to get on the ark. Ok, put yourself in their shoes, some guy comes round your house telling you that god has spoken to him, there is going to be a worldwide flood but dont worry, you can be saved if you join him on his floating box which he's packed with every single animal on earth. Would you believe him or think he was some lunatic? Exactly!
Another point, if the flood happened about 5-6 thousand years ago which I believe is the common theory, why are animals such as kangaroos only found in Australia and nowhere else? How did they get across the ocean there anyway and even if they were taken across by man in a boat at some point, why didn't they just spread out across Asia from the Middle East too? Same goes for polar bears and thousands of other localised species of animal.

Joe Rogan (yes the guy from Fear Factor) summed up my thoughts on this subject succinctly.

there's a lot of holes in that story, wait a minute, holy shit, let me sit down for this one... first of all how big is this boat we're talking about here? There's millions of animals all in that one boat? One guy built this boat? How long is dat thing? 600 years seems a little old for a fellow to be taking on a project of this magnitude. What did the animals eat while they were on this thing? Because animals like to eat other animals!

I don't believe it for one iota. take my opinion with a grain of salt, but i think it's ludicrous to believe that a 600 year old man built a gigantic boat... where did the wood come from? he built this thing himself? no freakin way. if all these animals were on the boat for 2 months or whatever, where did he keep the hay? what did he feed the lions?

If The Boss told me to do something, I'd ask Bruce Springsteen for his autograph :dunno

The mechanics are irrelevant.
The myth, and it is just a myth, not real, but even if real, must be judged by it’s moral value.

That is what will decide if God would ever do such a heinous crime and sin.

How would it look to all the other Gods in His species to see Him have to resort to genocidal fits, to bring His pets to heel.
They would laugh Him out of heaven for God’s sake.

Anyway, if you believe in fantasy and the flood as real, then you would know that God does not punish.

If required, He just makes an adjustment to your thinking and BINGO, all is cured.

God does not KILL, any of the perfections that surrounds Him.

He cures them.

Forgot to mention.

It is easy to cure when you have miracles to play with.

There was no ark. It is simply a morality story.
