Page 114 of The Present (With Religion) at truthcontest --- A few thousand years ago, it says that God made it rain for forty days and forty nights, drowning almost everyone and everything. It says that he did it, because he screwed up, and his creation was flawed. It makes no sense and did not happen, could not happen; there is not enough water on earth to cover it completely. To cover the highest mountains, the oceans would have had to get five miles deeper. The top of Mount Everest is more than thirty thousand feet above sea level. There would have to be more than three times the amount of water than is currently in the ocean. You could not triple the volume of the oceans in forty days and forty nights of raining. It would have to rain for millions of years. Where did all the water come from and go? Did God pull a plug? The water would have killed all plant life. The animals from the ark would have had nothing to eat. No one thinks of that. After being covered with salt water for over a month, the land would be as barren as the moon. God can do anything: Do not resort to the “God can do anything” argument; it does not make sense either. If he could snap his fingers and make the water appear and disappear and the plants grow back, he could have snapped his fingers and just made mankind disappear without all the drama. There was/is no need for the flood and ark and the rest of the story that no honest, rational person could believe. If God wants people to believe in the Bible, he would not have put a story in it that makes it impossible to believe. Where in the Bible does it say God can do anything? It just says he is all-powerful, the almighty, and controls everything (which is true), but God/life does it within the laws of nature and never deviates from them. If he did do miracles, there could be no truth you could know, no life you could know. The Jesus of truth and life could not exist without a truth and a life that never changes. God-kind: When I say that the goal is to become God, people right away think that means I am saying that people will be able to do miracles and will be able to control the weather and do all the other things that the myths say God does. The truth is, you will not be able to do anything special, because God does not do anything out of the ordinary. The ordinary is the ultimate miracle, and all a person that lives as God does is the ordinary. The only difference is that they know what it is and the ultimate miracle it is and are fulfilled by it. I am as I am: That is how the Bible says God defines himself, and it is the absolute best description possible. God is life and just does what we can see that life does. Thanks to science, we have finally learned what God/life really does. All these miracle myths stem from the misconception that God is an emotional man that can do anything. God only creates life and creates balance; nothing more and nothing less, and that is the truth that sets you free. God did not create us in his image; the opposite happened. We created God in our image, irrational emotions and all. --- Comment here: reddit/r/truthcontest/comments/2nsilm/facebook_read_along_of_the_present_with_religion/
