rainbows are beautiful, especially when you think about what they mean. Ever wonder why they appear only after a rain? I know most of you aren't religious, but in the book of Genesis (in the Bible, for those who may not know) it says "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Gen. 9:13; 15b-16. It's the promise that God will never again wipe out humankind with flood waters.

No he won't wipe out humans with flood waters, but he sure does a great job of killing in every other way imaginable. God is one self righteous, jealous, sexist, douche bag with a love of killing as many things as he can. Did you have an impure thought?...Well then, you're dead. Are you an animal that a human being had sex with? Well, not only is the perv dead, but so are you. Do you worship other gods beside the lord? Dead. Are you a tree that does not produce good fruit? Dead. Where you a firstborn son living in Egypt? Dead. I could keep going but there are so many other ways to die at the hand of "god". I don't understand how anyone could think the bible is true, and I really can't understand any females following it. Lisa, if you lived during this fictional story, you would probably be dead too. Or at least raped and now married to a husband who did said raping. Yikes!!!
