Out of all the Bible things Noah's ark sounds a lot like your run-of-the-mill fairy-tale so it's hard to see it upsetting anyone
Well, it is a story about God flooding the entire earth and sparing only one family because humanity was too sinful. A bit less Disney and a bit more brothers' Grimm.
I guess but it's not very graphic that minor case of major genocide
Genocide is never upsetting
It's a make-believe genocide, so unless you think it truly happened then I'm not sure what there is to be upset about.
Hundreds of millions of people believe it and base their voting preferences on it
I'm not sure it is upsetting to those who believe it. Christians seem to think of it as an uplifting story. I feel like you'd have to believe it happened but not be Christian (or other religion that includes it) to be upset about it. But that'd be a strange combo.
You said upsetting anyone so that is what I responded to. For the reason above that I originally responded with, its an upsetting story that trivializes genocide.
Do you personally find it upsetting?
Yes I think trivializing genocide is upsetting and it's happening right fucking now to people in Gaza. By the people that believe this shit. So yea, I personally find it fucking upsetting.
