    Well played. Now let’s have the fundy tell us how water covered the earth and drowned everybody but then the world was repopulated. Wait… is there some incest required for that to be true? OH NO!

      A little incest, a little beastiality; but who’s counting? I guess not the ones who believe that… because, ya know… they can’t count.

      BOOM! WHAT A BURN! FUCKING NAILED IT WITH THAT SCORCHER!

        Noah is a Babylonian “deluge myth”. Judaism didn’t even exist until 1,000 years later:

        It tells of how Enki, speaking through a reed wall,[v] warns the hero Atra-Hasis (‘extremely wise’) of Enlil’s plan to destroy mankind by flood, telling the hero to dismantle his house (perhaps to provide a construction site) and build a boat to escape

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis

        The worship of Yahweh alone began at the earliest with prophet Elijah in the 9th century BCE

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahwism

        This means that originally the flood was caused by one god and mankind was saved by another. That’s a better explanation than “God was angry but bipolar, so he saved one family and killed everyone else.”
