Genesis 9.13-15 and the big fella, presumably a little ashamed of his prettywelleverythingthatlivesocide (sorry, I don't know the word for wiping out everyone apart from one family and everything that can't swim) decides to say sorry by giving us the rainbow.
I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.Thanks G Man. Now I don't know about you, but if I were a member of the Noah family, having just survived a flood of biblical proportions - literally - the last thing I'd want to see is a fucking rainbow. It is not always the case, but typically a rainbow means it is raining. Fuck that, more rain, here we go again.
I should pay homage to Bill Hicks here. He once mused upon the fashion for cross wearing among Christians, postulating that should Jesus ever return to earth the last thing he'd want to see is another fucking crucifix.

LOVE IT....though the resident bookworm (the missus) did correct you on the Moses part, it was Noah. As a side note to rainbows and crucifixes....it someone was marytred today in the US and later it became a religion what would they be wearing around their necks, mini electric chairs, a syringe.....
D'oH! What a twat, let me fix that right away. And if someone religious was martyred today we would all be wearing Top Gun aviator sunnies :-)
