    Then you obviously don't know as much about the Catholic faith as you perhaps should.

    At any rate--what's your point?

    You don't understand some things about the faith you claim to be a member of. Okay? Is that it?

Further, I object to claiming Jesus told John things long after Jesus was dead.
    I believe that the flood story in the bible is the same story from the Sumerian tablets that have been passed on. It seems there are several stories in the old testament that match up with the Sumerian ones. I find the Sumerian tablets to be very interesting. If you haven't watched it already "The Exodus Decoded" it is a great documentary that aims to prove the flood story in the bible. Not sure if this is the best link or not but here it is. You have to click to watch on you tube and then it says it has sensitive content, just click that you understand and want to proceed.

    That’s right. I don’t believe in any gods. The Abrihamic god shared by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Or the numerous other gods man has invented throughout history. No Vishnu, Odin, Zeus or Osiris. Not even unicorns or leprechauns.

    Not sure why I said that the show was about he flood myth, it is actually about the Moses story the biblical plagues, and the parting of the sea. I guess the flood myth made me think of that. Sorry for the misrepresentation in what I said, when I re-read it right now I realized my mistake there. Either way it is a really good documentary. What it does show is how facts can play into the old myths.
