Genesis Books 6-11

These chapters are the world reknown story of Noah and his ark. It is important to me because when I had my Bar Mitzvah, I had to read this story from the actual Torah. Many things have changed since then, but the biggest change is that I no longer believe in God as I did when I was thirteen. However, I think that my analysis of the story back then is still the same as it is today, with the exception that I no longer believe in God like I used to. However, after reading it again, I realize that there is no difference in what we can extract from this story, just the simple fact that I am no longer completely convinced that God is real.
Almost exactly two years ago, I was able to learn something from this story, and I realize it even more today. God(if there is a God) is NOT going to destroy the Earth or flood it or however else anyone thinks that we will be punished. However, without realizing it, we, the human race, could easily bring an end to the Earth. Global Warming, war, and poverty are slowly but surely consuming our Earth by the second and only the rich have an ark. What if we were REALLY all the same? What if we all had the same amount of money, education, and all other differences that occur this day in age in society? If that happened then none of us would get saved. I personally don't think that's the end any of us want to go to, but if we don't act fast, it just might happen. We are rotting. Every minute of every day we spend neglecting that fact only makes it worse. There will be no ark this time, there will be no warning. That is why we have to prevent it at all costs and start making the Earth a better place. Even though that sentence is the biggest cliche of our time, I cannot help but realizing that it is true.
