He was intent on doing so. He would have. I should have put "was ready to" but it's been a long day. But I'm glad somebody noticed it at least.

I seriously doubt you've even read the bible. All you did was name 2 specific passages and called the whole book messed up. There ARE more than 2 stories in the bible. Even if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, there are some great morals that consist in the book.

2 specific passages at the beginning. The book is messed up in terms of modern times. We're forced to adapt it. God's lessons are clear, because some themes are in today's context, such as adultery.
I mean, honestly, you have to agree that Noah living to over 900 years old is quite a bit hard to understand in today's terms. People might have had more dexterity back then; we don't know that. That's "messed up." Jesus' sacrifice was not a cake walk.. it was a ridiculous event in terms of modern morals. They wouldn't force thieves to walk that far with a cross on their back nowadays. Public display of death? No, not anymore. I don't even think they put bags over their heads like they did in France under the guillotine.
