Lets compare Harry Potter to Noah and the Ark story. (A mythological story at that.)
Noah. The first mention of Noah is one verse where God says to Noah, `Men are bad, and I want you to build a boat so I can kill all mankind.'
The verse says Noah was a Righteous person. But notice no mention of what righteous meant. No standards, no laws, nothing to indicate what people were to be doing or not doing. God did not give humankind a chance. Just wipe them out, he tells Noah.
What does Noah Do? He builds the Ark. No Questioning god, just does it like a little Nazi in Germany. Follow orders. He did not even bother to get a building permit or consult a construction engineer. No permit from the EPA. It did take 100 years to build his boat. I suppose it was his use of the unit called the `cubit' instead of the metric system.
Anyway, he builds his boat, packed it full of animals and his family. (Were they righteous like Noah, or did they get a 'get out of jail free card' by being related to Noah? (The good ole buddy system, it works every time.)
When the ark ran aground, Noah sent out a raven and a dove returned. What a miracle! When Noah got off the boat, among all the dead bloated bodies of the people God killed, Noah build an altar, sacrificed an animal and thanked God. (Was this an extra animal? If it was a clean one, he wiped out a species.)
At this point God repented and said he was sorry he killed the people and he would not do it again. He invented the rainbow.
Noah on the other hand, stomped some grapes and made wine. (Where did the grapes come from?) Noah got drunk, got naked and exposed himself to his son ham. Noah woke up and cursed Ham.
So there you have it. Noah was a Nazi, an accessory to mass murder, a drunkard, a sexual deviate, and a child abuser. And this is the guy who is called `righteous in the eyes of god' and we are supposed to be his descendants.
I think I like the descendant from the monkey theory better. The truth is, it is all God's fault.
