There's a rainbow in all of us

This is certainly a different take on the whole "Noah story" than I've ever heard. Not realizing it was about planet-care, I had always thought it was an account of how God destroyed the wicked on the earth, displaying God's holiness and intolerance of evil, and then it being a display of God's faithfulness that He keeps covenant and keeps for Himself a remnant. Meh, my mistake. I guess it's actually a story to teach us about caring for the earth and "building a better world."
