Us Atheist don't need to hold that belief in order to enjoy life and care for loved ones. Actually, it makes us hold those we love more dearly since we know our time together is short.
A belief in Noah's ark, on the other hand, is simply childish, to say crudely.
you should hear about some of the other childish stuff I believe in...
the mouths of hungry lions being miraculously shut...
Men surviving being thrown into giant pits of fire...
people going happily to their deaths, being sawed in two, rip to pieces, forfeiting life and children - and all with great joy...
but if you ask me, you picked the wrong event to mock...
Most "childish" of all, I believe that God Himself came to this earth in the flesh of a human, was murdered by the very people he came to save, and (here's the worst part) that man - God - lives again, despite having died a very real death.... as powerful as death is - it will conquer even you someday mr roso - but as powerful as it is, it doesn't have a finger on God...
Childish, crazy, call it what you want, I live by this, so much so that I should be pitied by all men if what the Word of God says isn't true...
