this is rather strong language, below; apologies if/as it offends
however, moving on, perhaps someone here may desire insight into God's thought/s about people which buffer my critique(?)
E.g., the way it's written, Moses' flood story does not convey that Noah (et. al.; the 8 survivors mentioned in Peter's writing, too) possessed personal star power like a Madonna; even if he did, one could argue that Noah was no Mother Teresa, but perhaps a Jimmy Swaggert
anyway, aside from such cultural frivolity, in Moses' realm of (God's) thought, Noah's obedience is captivating; however, so is his disobedience
acc to Moses, they're disparate elements of his character carefully documented against the background of two societies' civilized lawlessness--the society destroyed by water, the society the survivor/s founded..
literarily, i think the deeper issue Moses is addressing is the absolute indispensability of God's grace; while there is no ocean bottom to it yet too explosive material it is for those who'd manufacture the Rule of Law..
