So far we have
had three days of torrential rain here in western Maine, but there are still
thirty-seven more to go to match the Biblical downpour. It makes me wonder if Pentecostals are beginning
to sing and dance and talk in unknown tongues, and lining up for the Rapture.
Did you ever
really consider what cataclysmic event would be required to drown the entire
earth in forty days and nights of rain?
We have
mountains here in western Maine just shy of four thousand feet in elevation, and
that is small for many ranges. It would
have to rain one hundred feet a day during the forty days and nights in order
to cover these mountains and drown the people of Rangeley, Maine. That amounts to approximately four feet an
hour. At four feet am hour rainfall the
atmosphere would be so heavy with water you would drown just by breathing. In other words, God probably wasted
thirty-nine days and twenty-three hours of rainfall during his rage against
mankind.
But,
fundamentalist people continue to believe verbatim the story of Noah and all
the other fables of the Bible. These people
are as dirt ignorant as they are enthusiastic for their religion.
However,
they are also enthusiastic voters.
