I wouldn't take the Bible literally. I believe that the story of the flood is not about a global flood. Back in Noah's time, if the flood covered all of Mesopotamia, Noah would say it was the whole world. If covered the tops of the mountains in Israel and Turkey they would the highest mountains on Earth. Of course, it could just be a metaphor that I don't understand.
How can I damn myself?
You keep running your mouth and Nyarlathotep and I will come over to house and kick your extra terrestrial ass.
