High school

I'm half the marking period in to school and looking back at the first month a thought came to mind. It was a pain in the ass! The school is two stories tall and almost all of my classes are on the opposite side of it. I had to ,and still have to, sprint to every class just to make it on time. But until other than that it was fun. We were given a lot of freedom s such as a school IPad. We also got to leave school grounds for lunch and free periods. I also relize that this was completely different from the middle school. The middle school had us basically chained by the angle to the desk and we had no freedom what so ever. So besides the sprinting part, I'm start to love high school.

Genesis 6 - 9 reflection

Disclaimer: The following is only meant to be a school assignment and not meant to insult anybody or there religion. Thank you.

Today I have read Genisis 6-9 from the Bible and and I was very surprised. It depicted God as cruel and unforgiving. For example God becomes angry at mankind for being evil to each other. But instead of giving guidance, he decides to kill everyone on Earth with a 40 day flood. This seems very rash and harsh because we don't know the origin of the evil but the flood killed everyone in the world. This is evident because God said," “I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.​
” So someone could have been worshiping God when all of a sudden he is killed by the flood because of Gods choice to kill indiscriminately. My interpretation is God can sometimes help man (helping Noah) but can also harm them (the flood.)

Who's to blame #1

In regards with the story of Adam and Eve I think that it is God's fault that the two ate the fruit of Knowledge. This is because of the fact that it was even there in the first place. If God did not want them to eat it he should have removed it or not even created it in the first place. Now some people might blame the snake for tricking Eve into eating the apple, but if God is all knowing, he should have known that it would do that. And some might say that the snake was a test to see if the two were trustworthy, but again if God is all knowing he should know if they are trustworthy or not. And it was definitely not Adam or Eve's fault because Adam wasn't even there when Eve talked to the snake and it wasn't Eve's fault either because she was tricked by the snake. So it all boils down to one person, God, he was the only one in the entire story who had control over literally everything but CHOOSES to let them all (including the snake) run there own course. So that's my side, if you agree or disagree comment down below. See ya next time.

Flood stories in Cultures

In Greek mythology there is a flood story where Zeus the lord of the gods (and the coolest in my opinion) sent a heavy rain to flood the earth and to destroy the Bronze Age of Greece. This is because he was angered by the evil humanity at the time, so his decision was to kill everybody. But the the god Prometheus warned his son, Deucalion, of Zeus plans and advised him to build a box and hide in it for nine days and nine nights which was the amount of time the heavy rain lasted. Because of this he survived the flood along with a few who escaped to the high mountains. This story has similarities and differences to the story of Noah's arch which is another flood story from another popular religion. One similarity of the two is that they both had God angry with humanity for being unkind to one another. Another similarity is that they both resolved the problem with a flood. But a difference is that in the story of Noah he built a boat but Deucalion was instructed to build a box. Also Noah was told to get two of every animal while Deucalion was not.
