It's true that many "cultures" and "religions" have freely borrowed from the divine beauty that is the KJV Bible: nobody is disputing that. The problem is that so many people are mislead into thinking that just because an account is borrowed from a divine source it becomes, by association, true.
BALONEY.
Thank you for pointing out that other versions of The Great Flood are merely pale imitations of the actual thing. Jesus warned us about turning from The Truth and following fairy tales:
(2 Timothy 4:3-4) "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. "
Yours in Christ,
