and the passage in Genesis 9 contains enough references to physical actions (fatigue, drunkenness, sleep, covering while walking bakcwards, etc.) that militate against an euphemistically sexual reading and suggest literal slipping of a blanket or something like that.

Okay. If you want to believe Noah cursed a grandson, to be a servant of servants to his brethren because that boy's father saw him naked - okay. It isn't worth an argument.

Let us not forget that Adam and Eve are under greater punishment for eating an apple.
