Well, it wasn't my

Noah has a lot to be ashamed of:
Drunk out naked. Not
arguing for the rest of humanity. And the curses inside him that come hurtling
out. It seems horrible for him to be seen naked.
Horrible to have so much hatred for his son and
grandson. Horrible to be complicit in
this destruction of the world.
And Noah is God's man.
I GUESS WE DO THE BEST WE CAN. MAYBE.
I love the Bible for showing us, with your help Margaret,
how horrible it feels to be Noah and Noah's God.
But maybe we'll be fine with the fruit of the vine.
