Ya, I disagree as much as one can, but...
It has a point, and a good one that, is so good, its rehashed severely, no offense. I'm not going to rant here, but I bet you could burn the old testament really well if you wanted to. The vernitico guy is an idiot, but I'm not going to rant here.
Not bad,
but it could be better. it is pretty funny so I just gave it a 6.
I once tried to read the bible, but it was so godamn fucking boring.
and it did not make sence. a lot of things that the bible says is already proven that it did not happen but those narrow minded religios idiots just won't accapt the truth. But wel, I can understand that if your parents would mindfuck you as soon as you are born.
every religion is just the same. cristians are nothing better than moslims, and they are nothing worse than chatolics. more voilent maybe but. IT IS ALL FUCKING BULLSHIT. TRY TO LOOK AT THE BIBLE WITH A BIT OF LOGIC FOR A CHANCE. AND YOU WILL SEE THAT EVERYTHING IS JUST FUCKING BULLSHIT AND NOTHING MORE.
actually non believers understand more of the bible than the ones that do believe. it is all not true, that is the only thing that you should understand about that book that I use as toilet paper. but xtians don't stop posting angry reviews. it's very amusing. I just can't take it seriously.
As for this flash movie.
I wrote the review just below this one, too. But I spent all my time on SvenSvan, and still wanted to comment on the flash movie, so that's what this is.
As for this flash toon, all of that doesn't mean the author actually did get everything right. For example, he conveniently represents the pre-flood world with an innocent child. The image is very clearly not meant to reflect only on her; she is meant to represent all of the people on the earth that are killed in the flood. And yet, the Bible says repeatedly—we're talking over, and over, and over, here—that everyone on earth was evil, through and through. That every thought and every motive was corrupt and evil, and spawned corruption and violence. The author would have us think that in the flood, God killed a lot of "good people." But that's not the case.
Noah wasn't an exhibitionist. He didn't like to be an exhibitionist to his own sons. In fact, he punished his son who saw him naked. His son didn't enjoy seeing his father drunk and naked; it happened by accident, and he immediately had his brothers cover their father up.
Furthermore, the author misunderstands the meaning of the word "righteous." The term is used to describe others in the Bible as well, such as Abraham, David, Job, and actually quite a few others. But never is it even suggested that these people were perfect people. "Righteous," contrary to popular understanding, doesn't mean sinless. And if you read carefully the story of Noah, even, it is clear that by "righteous" it is meant that Noah was a man who sought after God, who sought to obey God's laws, who sought to know and love God, and who believed and trusted God. That is what is meant by righteousness.
So when the Bible says that Noah and his sons, and their four wives, were the only righteous ones on the face of the entire earth, it means that everybody else had deliberately turned away from God. In fact, it only makes sense to believe that for 120 years, Noah preached to them that they should repent of their ways and turn back to God, or they would all die in a flood. The story doesn't actually tell us he did this (I don't believe, but I could be wrong), but we do know that Noah had a 120-year advance warning. It is the common belief that Noah preached repentance to them, that Noah warned them of the flood, and that they ridiculed and scorned him. This is significant not only in showing that they truly had deliberately rejected God, but also in showing that God even gave them a last chance. So you see, they weren't just sinners, because everybody sins. But they had deliberately rejected God and refused to repent and turn from their evil ways and their rejection of Him. And so when the time finally came—after 120 years worth of second chances!—it was well deserved.
The author claims this is "to expose things that believers of various faiths may not have considered about their faith." Clearly, despite his caustically sarcastic and aspiringly satirical styling, he takes this very seriously. Perhaps he should try informing himself better on his subject matter, before he attempts to instruct us in it.
Everyone has their bias.
The guy who wrote this is an atheist. Something to keep in mind.
I suppose this is supposed to be an overly caustic form of satire. As such, I suppose it has achieved its purpose. Although I must say that the huge chip on the author's shoulder becomes very evident. Which is all good and well, but from an artistic perspective, such an intense agenda actually detracts from the value of the satirical commentary. Lighten up, man.
But "SvenSvan," seriously now....
Quote (just a few reviews down):
so, yes God killed everyone, except for the riteous Noah, you got that right...but nothing in the Bible says about them going to hell. Any riteous people who dies in the flood would have gone to heaven...acctually they wouldnt have gone to either because most of them are jews and they dont believe that people are judged after death until the second comming of Christ. Also, you mention Jesus in your flash, but the story of Noahs arc takes place hundreds of years before the birth of Christ...do some effing research if you wanna make fun of an institution of over 2000 years of age. Also, not only Christians have a story about a great flood, the ancient Greeks and Sumerians also had similar stories.
Alright dude, couple small problems here. I'm on your side, but you're just getting it all way too wrong.
Nothing in the Bible says they were all sent to hell... unless you consider that the Bible specifically says—repeatedly, in fact—that every single one of them was evil, and that every thought and motive they ever had was evil, with the sole exception of Noah and his family. Oh, and that also takes care of your "Any righteous people who dies in the flood would have gone to heaven" thing, because not a single righteous person died in the flood. They were all evil. All of them.
Then your very next bit about them being Jews and therefore not going immediately to Heaven or to hell... no. Jews didn't even exist until Abraham. Abraham is a descendant of Noah. Furthermore, the Bible says that people had populated the whole earth... by implication, it's not hard to imagine that there might already have arisen many kingdoms, nations, etc. by this time. And lastly, where a person goes is not determined by what they believe; it's determined by the reality of things, whether or not they believe in that reality.
About Jesus. Actually, he's right on to mention Jesus. Ever read the book of John? It's in the New Testament, after Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It starts like this: "In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created." The Word, my friend, was Jesus. Jesus, being one with God and God himself, has always existed, just as God has always existed. The Bible says that all of creation happened through Him. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if your conception of Jesus is of a man that lived on earth, if you think of Jesus's existence as spanning about 33 years, if you think that Jesus came into existence when he was humanly born of Mary about 2000 years ago, then you have an incredibly small Jesus, and a very small God.
You're right that there are other accounts of a great, worldwide flood. Someone else has mentioned, accurately, that there is geological evidence for it. But gosh, man, have you ever actually read your own Bible? Or did you just accept what your Pastor or Sunday School teacher taught you when you were a kid? Did you ever actually think about it at all? I mean, anyone who's even cracked their own Bible a few times understands that Jesus has always been, and that creation, and pretty much everything else throughout all of time, happened through Him.
So to turn it back on you.... do some effing research before you make the rest of us Christians look like ignorant buffoons.
Uh-huh...
hehe, yea it kinda had some dumb humour to it but i guess it was alright. Could use some better graphic and animation work though.
