- stormking 4y agoI'm usually very good at detecting irony, tongue-in-cheek and similar "humorous tones". I see nothing indicating it here.

- onei 4y agoI'd call it understatement. Rather than write it all off as fabrication, I'm open to believing there's elements of truth mixed in. I don't believe Noah lived for 1000 years and had 2 of every animal on a boat. But I could believe there was a tsunami that killed thousands. I could also believe it was rationalised as a an act of god and eventually became the great flood that appears in the Bible.
