the flood.

Really, no matter how many times I read this it just doesn't make sense. First of all, if you live in a time and place with no mass communication and you look around and see nothing but water, you may safely assume that the whole world is flooded. These are a people who had no concept of the Arctic Circle, Mayans, etc. They lived where they could walk. ...[text shortened]... ommit suicide because their belief or disbelief in one event out of a zillion was disproven.

There are two types of people to whom the global flood can't be disproven:

1) those who have tightly wed the genesis flood story to their life faith.
2) those with less than an 7th grade science education

Unless one says that your god manipulated the world to get around the embarassingly many natural problems with the genesis flood story, a global flood just didn't happen.

The fact that many cultures have a flood story is understood in the light of your second sentence above. As for cultures around the middle east, we know that the Hebrew flood myth was borrowed from older civilizations, so it should not surprise us that it is similar (though suspiciously much more fantastic).

A Christian calling someone self-righteous? Now I've seen everything.

by "tel's way", I mean his usual style.

I thought you meant Tel's Way, the upcoming autobiographical self-help manual for true xians. Biggest advance payment in the history of spiritual publishing; Deepak Chopra is in a sulk.

There are some wonderful words warning us against judging others in Matthew 7. For this reason, I will not judge you even as you judge me. :'(

I will however leave you with these words of truth which should help you understand why I know that Satan is within you.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.
Therefore, by their fruits ye shall know them."

(21C KJV)

I see that you are also a child of Satan.

Please don't judge me, but then what can I expect when your spirit wages war against the Truth? I can only turn the other cheek and count my treasures in heaven.
