i unno if these are just mere flaws or what not...but i know that God is more like a salesman...in my opinion

1: Thats if you believe hell exists...
I believe logically hell is more like the souls of humans that cant relate to anyone else therefore they spend eternity lonley. Ask some of the worlds leading mediums and theyll be likly to tell you the same thing.
2: Noahs ark is just one recollection of that story... Great flood myths are prevelent in almost all world cultures, and the exact reasoning for them we can never be sure. Possibly it is simply a natural disaster like an asteroid plunging into the ocean creating really large tsunamis throughout a lot of the worlds continents.. Possibly there were darker evils existing in this world before this event and it was a devine act to bring on the new world. As a lot of cultures in more modern history seemed to have began directly after these floods cleared up. Whatever the case, realise the world was not the same place during those times so we cant be sure what actually happened and why. But noahs ark I believe is more on the myth side of the true story, most animals would have survived by living on higher land for a while..
A lot of cultures versions of the story are about them using canoos to get back to land... Dont take the glorified christian story too literally.. A lot of stories in the bible are mainly there to teach lessons more so than record history.

I think you'll find his name was 'Jobe'.. And yeah, once again.. I believe this to be a fictional folk tale to teach people that no matter how hard life gets, never lose faith in god because everything happens for a reason.
