Barty, you can't just pontificate. You have to commit to reading the KJV with the rest of us in order to earn your right to pontificate.

flood now. this is a big one in comparative mytholody. everyone has a flood. hindus. greeks (sorry corpse). the lot. there's some theory that there was a flood in the black sea that inspired all this.

i remember being a kid and thinking it was so cool that the flood in halo were called the flood.

Talked about the Greek flood already, come on, stop dawdling. We need to get to Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat by the end of the week.

You can't divorce it from that context can you. It's very difficult to separate what is powerful because we have had 2000+ years of making it wicked, and what is inherently powerful. It's all tangled together. That's part of what makes reading it interesting. Even for people like us who didn't grow up with it, aetheist families in a wider secular culture.

Mad innit although I reckon it's going to be all downhill after Genesis.

do the kind of people who say that adam and eve are cell division and that the flood was some real flood in the black sea also say that eden is actually the fertile crescent?

Oh, yeah, they do. Course. Everything has to be literal to some people.
