What you don't seem to understand is that what the pagans worshipped were really idols and not gods at all. 😏

Only eight people were left unaffected by this corruption, and God had to save man at that time ...[text shortened]... a good line of descent for the Messiah to come.

Read a little further and you'll discover that Noah wasn't so pure and innocent.

Why would you think I believe Noah was pure and innocent?

This corruption was from the mixing of the sons of God (the watchers) with the daughters of men. It did not mean that Noah and his family were sinless.

So you align with the iconoclasts then? Like Islam does.

Not really. Icons don't really bother me at all for I know they are not gods. 😏

I read this by chance this morning and thought of you.

"When e.g. we see a man kneel and pray before an idol, and the content is reprehensible from the point of view of reason, we can nevertheless cling to his feeling that is alive in his prayer, and can say that this feeling has the same value as that of the Christian who worships the semblance of truth, and as that of the philosopher who immerses himself in eternal truths with his thinking reason. Only the objects are different; but the subjective feeling is one and the same." Hegel (Lectures 51)

It seems to me that all men have worshiped before some idol, representing their version of "God". You would likely make your idol "Science or Education", in the process setting yourself up as superior to those who revere other lesser gods, in your view.

Whatever floats your boat.

I think it means God's a mysantrope (or however you spell it).
