Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

From Genesis Chapter 6 Why God wanted to destroy the world ? [ On a lesser scale Mary Shelly's " Frankenstein " was a bitter disappointment to his Creator ]
Genesis - Chapter 6
Genesis
1 cumque coepissent homines multiplicari super terram et filias procreassent
And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them.
2 videntes filii Dei filias eorum quod essent pulchrae acceperunt uxores sibi ex omnibus quas elegerant
The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took themselves wives of all which they chose.
3 dixitque Deus non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in aeternum quia caro est eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum
And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum illaeque genuerunt isti sunt potentes a saeculo viri famosi
Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.
5 videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore
And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,
6 paenituit eum quod hominem fecisset in terra et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus
It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,
7 delebo inquit hominem quem creavi a facie terrae ab homine usque ad animantia a reptili usque ad volucres caeli paenitet enim me fecisse eos
He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Noe vero invenit gratiam coram Domino
But Noe found grace before the Lord.
