It is a great error to judge someone (worse, to hold them in contempt) solely on their behavior at their weakest moments. Every single person dead or alive judged in that manner would end up damned.

What you allow to move you: that is your belief in God or in some second-rate substitute.

The story of Noah, like all the ancient stories we will consider, is thus not an argument for the existence of God, rendered against the doubt of believer and unbeliever alike, but a description of what is to be held properly in the very highest of places, so that the continuation of man, society, and world may be ensured.

All the crucial decisions of life are made on principle, not in consequence of sufficient evidence.
