Noah’s reboot didn’t work 🤷♂️
I feel inclined to point out that even in the context of Christian myth, God said he would destroy the world again with fire after “Noah’s reboot” (actually God’s reboot, he just spared Noah), he just said he wouldn’t use water next time. This isn’t really a shower thought so much as it is a fact of Christian myth. God said he’d return and destroy the world multiple times.
Procrastination is a divine trait, then.
I prefer if you refer to procrastination as “working in mysterious ways”. That’s what I’ll do from now on.
“Why is your work late again!?”
“…exactly. Why, indeed?”
Aside from the many obvious inconsistencies, I like to mention the main flaw in Noah’s ark being saltwater and freshwater fish. The flood was either fresh or salt, so one of those two types of fish would need to have been stored on the ark to survive. No mention of that, of course.
That’s the main flaw??
I humbly disagree.
‘Aside from the many obvious inconsistencies’ were my first words.
The fish thing is something rarely considered and usually leaves dogmatic Christians with their mouth gaping like a fish for a moment as they try to think of an answer (of which there is none).
The Jehovah’s Witness guy in my work explained it away (or thought he did) by saying the fish that survived adapted. To which I said ‘You mean evolution?’
He, of course, said adaptation is not evolution. The hoop jumping continues.

Actually, both types of fish species needed to be stored
Big regions of saltwater and freshwater could stay separate, ane on many places on earth they do. No need to go that far to debunk that fable.
The bible describes a global flood that covers the highest mountains, so that would not be possible. All freshwater would be subsumed by salt water.
Okay, ill play along :) All of the new water would be fresh water, so that would make around the same ammount of fresh water and salt water. They still wouldnt mix because of a differences in density.
Could be regional flooding. He probably didn’t hit the Chinese at the same time. Not like Noah was well versed in global maps. Dude only saw where he was was flooded.
Or God put all the freshies in stasis cause God can make a flood and does w/e whenever.
Could also be pirate space monkeys came and saved all the fish and then returned them after. It’s really fun to make up situations where the fish didn’t die in the story. We can even give Noah a staff and special powers as long they justify our view of the world.
Love it. It’s all fan fiction so why not. Whatever is popular is the lore.
Why is god a “he” instead of an “it”?
Because “it” is dehumanising and it would be hard to relate to something that’s not human
Isn’t god supposed to be a “supreme being” not a “supreme human”?
He’s a tool for manipulation first and foremost, and therefor must be relatable regardless of any grammar rules or even what’s actually written in the Bible.
They would probably use “they” instead in any case, if it were to change. “It” is for objects, pets and clowns.
Because the Christian God is male.
Noah’s reboot didn’t work
A goat-farmer who piled all his livestock on a raft when the river flooded, and whose story has been embellished so much it’s nothing like the original? That Noah?
None of this is binding yet! Call your local seraphim to let them know that you would like to stay alive!
Oh, dear, did you all not receive notice about the new bypass?

According to some religions, the whole world will come to an end sooner or later. Actually, even physics/cosmology says so.
“things end” isnt exactly an insightful statement
