After the Great Deluge

The All Mighty created the deluge as an act of divine retribution against humanity because of the sinful state of mankind. The flood has at last subsided leaving the few survivors huddled together in shock. Will those who remain follow a more ethical life or will they be doomed as were their predecessors by falling into immorality?

The deluge as a metaphor?

Yes, a metaphor inspired by this photograph of devastation by flood.
Humanity has always struggled against the forces of nature, often defining those struggles in religious terms as a means to cope with life's travails . . .
Today's struggles with a global pandemic has much in common with other human disasters in the past!
Or perhaps this is only a photo of an eroded desert arroyo and nothing more.
