Noah’s Ark is a story to scare followers
Ya....everyone knows there are no consequences for their behavior!
So, you’re going with the “we descended from apes” thing?
“Noah’s Ark is a story to scare followers”
Never scared me. Never scared anyone that I know of. Maybe you scare easy?
...and yet every major culture has a Flood myth.
Like it was a common part of everyone's oral tradition or something.
Odd that over 100 cultures scattered throughout the World (Australia, the South Pacific, North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, etc) have a similar story: Mankind wiped out due to a flood, with only a handful of people surviving on a boat/ark/log.
It is a story based on fact. And given that the promise after-wards was that the world would never again be destroyed in a Flood (Genesis 8:21b And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done)-- what is the 'scare' aspect?
'Hell' is the story that you may have wanted to reference as a scare tactic. In this case, reasonably based fear (e.g., 'I am afraid to jump in that blazing fire. It might hurt a bit').
