So interesting...

You know that religions are pretty much all based on the same thing... there are ideas of deities, most of them are based on love and respect, true and justice... they all preach pretty much the same, yet the names and places change... and indeed, for some odd reason some even preach that all the other ones are wrong...

Anyway, sometimes is odd to find a weird coincidence between religions, like yesterday... I read about a huge flood that placed water upon the surface of all earth, all but the Parnaso, a very high mountain. This flood was caused by Zeus, because humans had become wicked and he was so upset at them that he decided to wipe them out. Then a wooden boat appears on the horizon, which had Deucalion and Pirra on it, Deucalion was Prometeo's son. Since Prometeo knew that the flood was going to happen, he instructed this guy to build a boat and to sail on it with his woman once the flood started...

After a while the water was gone again, this two guys were allowed to live by Zeus because they had a good hearth, and then they helped "reconstruct" humanity, but now based on rocks instead of metals...

Now the similarities aren't much... but the idea of the flood, and the wooden boat built by this good man, is interesting... isn't it?...

so... back to work....
