Sure he can. That does not make religious based teachings any less valid an outlet. The lesson is what is important, not the delivery.
And fwiw, the story of Noah's Ark was created at a time when people believed in a more vengeful God, as opposed to all loving. It is a metaphor, you know that right?
Who controls the church?
Did Alexander the Great lust for power and control because of his religion? Caesar? Napoleon? Hitler?
What about the man who dominates and beats his wife? What about the woman who will tell any lie to screw her husband in a divorce? What about the junkie who kills another junkie in a drug deal gone bad?
Its all about power, its all about control. It is all about the need for both. And it has nothing to do with religion.

LOL...we are talking about the church here...theists LOVE to haul out comparisons to anything else they think will make them look better. It doesnt work and certainly doesnt answer any of the questions I pose.
As to the comment about children praying to goD...Fine Ill retract that and say children praying to Jesus? Go ahead and prove that one.
