So Noah builds a huge Ark out of wood, blood, sweat and tears. Stuffs it full of animals and family members and then sits on it for a year while God has his way with the Earth.

Mmmk!

So….

I guess God made the animals less hungry and willing to eat each other. Therefore none had to poop so no one had to clean up tons of animal dung off the Ark. Oh and luckily God ‘protected’ that Ark from all the flood related nastiness for over a year. How awesome is that? Talk about a miracle.

I mean, sure, God created man, the heavens and the Earth. All beast there within. So he could have just as easily wiped out the Earth and just made more, but no that would be too easy. No God wanted a boat. And a boat he got.

So a year passes and finally the land is dry and all of the animals disembark. But to what? Barren land that has been flooded all to hell? Have you guys ever seen footage of an area after a flood? Its not pretty. I guess eventually the Earth gets covered in bugs and plants again and all the animals scatter.

However, what about Noah and his family? I mean if they are family who’s making all those babies to repopulate the Earth? Leviticus 18:6 seems to frown upon that whole incest thing. Leviticus makes quite a few very specific statements about all that.

Besides, we all know if you mate with your direct family bad things can happen. Not so sure how we all are still here tbh.

So here we are. Animals all over the place. Mankind is quite diverse and yeah we do seem to want to hate one another like we were all siblings.

The more educated of the preachers I have spoken to have said not to get all caught up in the literal of the story. The story is meant to deliver a moral message to Gods people. To let the people know that God is watching. God loves us however if we do not return that love God gets upset.

Um yeah, so I was thinking. Next time my lil girl angers me for not obeying my constant orders to stop playing in the kitchen I should just flood the house. One thing I can learn from all of this is that God is single. I mean seriously. If God had shared in the creation of the universe, his ol lady would not be all that happy in how he has been handling things.

God floods the Earth, Mrs God comes home from a shopping trip and see’s God all wet, dripping on the heavenly carpets Mrs God so pain stakenly picket out. God tell his wife “Oh sorry hun, I was just flooding the whole Earth killing everything”. Mrs God shouts out “You did WHAT!?!”. God replies “Don’t worry hunny. I had this guy build a big boat and he’s saving all those precious animals you like so much”.

Mrs God gives God the sideways glare many of us married men have come to know. God glares back and says “But hunny, I’m only doing it because I love them”.

Our spiritual beliefs for example. It seems we are all so eager to believe in something greater than ourselves. Something that is above all else. Something that loves us no matter what. Well, almost no matter what.

We want to believe that something amazing is responsible for all that we see and all that we are. And of course in order to gain access to this great being, we must go through other men and women.

See thats where this whole religion thing seems to fall apart. The moment mankind gets involved. Suddenly some dude in a robe or a suit is the gate keeper for ones own eternal soul. I call bullshit…

Too many people in religion take advantage of their position to live ‘enhanced’ lifestyles. And when you confront them, they smile and say ‘god has been very good to me brother’. It wasn’t god that was good to you. It was you being good to yourself taking advantage of the average weak minded religious nitwit. Thats not to say anyone who follows religion is a nitwit. However, anyone giving a snake oil salesman money for eternal life is.

You see, no matter how any one religion spins it, they are not the only answer. They are not the only choice. They don’t all believe in the same god. No matter what spiritual path you choose, there will ALWAYS be more people that disagree with you than agree. There are always more people that believe in other things.

This is where faith comes in I think. Takes an act of faith to take a stand and say the rest of the world is nuts.

So lets cover the basics shall we?

Why are we here? Hell, I don’t know. We are here to live life however we choose to. We can devote it to loving God, loving a woman, a child, a car. Just love something. Does that mean I think the meaning of life is love? No, I think life is maybe a little more complicated than that. But not much. Love is great, but its never enough.

How did we get here? Well, we can go over the book of Genesis and talk about God creating man in a nice garden. But after awhile we will have to ask ourselves, Who in the hell did Cane when he left the garden? We are all here because people before us get a lil warm in the britches and decided hey lets get it on.

That doesn’t go back far enough for you? You mean you want to know exactly we got here on this Earth? Oh well, sorry I don’t know. And I’m okay with that. See I wasn’t there, and neither was anyone else. God? Sure maybe he was there, but after reading his blog on the matter, I’m still pretty much in the dark.

Evolution? Sure why not. So many religious people have so much disdain for animal life they feel insulted that we could ever possibly be descended from beasts. I mean, sure we are completely depend on them for food and what not. But hey thats just part of God’s plan right?

The common argument has been raised that some people want to believe we were spawned suddenly from mud and rib bones. Yet they find its silly to imagine we evolved from other critters. Yeah well, I think I’m siding with the critters.

Still not far back enough for you? Okay lets just pop into the old Big Bang Theory. Now what I find odd is that I hear religious fella’s trashing this theory. That’s fine by me, however its how they trash it that makes it so interesting. They claim some godless scientist came up with that crap. And yet, it was a Monk that came up with it. Boom and then there was light. Duh!!

Sure my sports fan Page is pretty cool and yes maybe for shits and giggles I’ll add more stuff to the blog. I of course have no grandiose plans for this blog.

However,

Since posting this blog I have received over 40 different posts to be approved. Basically posts complementing me on my great input and how helpful and fulfilling my blog has been. A site with no content and I am changing the world one spam bot at a time I suppose.

I find it sad that nearly all circuits of communication have to become clogged up with useless self promotion and advertising. Claiming to agree in sharing a message that really isn’t there.

This little spot on the web is a dead end. No one comes here. This very post will most likely be read by no one. This is my muted shout out to the world and I’m saying no ones home.

I’m sure the spam bots will find this meaningless drabble to be ever so informative and I know there are so many out there that have learned more from reading this blog than anything they found in the library. (These are real comments btw).

Basically my wife wanted to use a more up-to-date method to blog and show off her exceptional artwork. So I set up a Word Press site for her. Seems this thing is pretty powerful and yet simple.

My old front page to Diraven.net has never really hand anything of not on it. I usually just work off of subdomains. Usually these are for MMOs.

I joined Facebook some time ago, but in all honesty, all Facebook seems to be is a place where some big corporation can make billions off of your personal images and information while giving you crappy support in return.

It appears that many media personnel have started blogging. It’s easy to do, fast and can be quite effective. Putting up personal webspace has come a long way since I first starting working on sites.

First time I ever edited and posted a webpage I used Notepad as the editor. I think I was working for AOL at the time.

So this is my new blog. Should you find yourself here, feel free to look around. This is more an exercise than anything else.
