It's more like, God is whatever I think He is, regardless of facts. I swear I have never encountered a more monomaniacal group than the posters on these threads. It's all about me and whatever I think. Never mind the hard work of discovery that goes on all around. My interpretation of the Bible is Truth and the rest of you are damned.
You were REALLY close!
This is more accurate:
God is, whatever I think He is, regardless.
When my nephew was really little, I took him to a farm to show him a llama. I figured that he'd never seen one before. I was right. This is how the conversation went:
Me, pointing to a Llama: "So, what kind of an animal is that?"
Nephew, sqinting and furrowing his brow: "Horsie?"
Me: "No, that's a 'Llama'".
Nephew, gives me a dirty look, looks back at the llama: "Cowie?"
Me: "No, that's a 'Llama'".
Nephew, looks at me, looks at the llama, getting angry: "Horsie?"
Me: "No, that's a..."
Nephew: "HORSIE!!!"
Me: "No, th...
Nephew: "HORSIE!!"
Me: "Ok, it's a horsie."
Nephew, smiling, nodding his head: "Horsie."
That's what it is like around here sometimes...
I wasn't the one who authored the account of Noah. But I do know what words mean. As far as the ability to communicate purely from the standpoint of one's own personal views, the post to which I am responding is a case in point. It really is all about you and what you think. You have no authority other than yourself and those whom you choose to espouse. As for me, I am accountable to a text that resides outside of myself and is of not my own making. I have a standard. You have yourself and your own judgments.
