"After the flood, God had given man the rainbow. It was a gift and a symbol - a promise that this kind of thing would never happen again. Back then there wasn't much in the way of entertainment so when a rainbow came along, it was the closest you got to a drive-in so the tendency was to try to enjoy. But despite its flash, when humans looked upon the rainbow, rather than feeling reassured, they felt a bit like God was trying to dupe them, like he was saying, 'Let's forget about all this nasty genocide business and enjoy the pretty colors.'"
- Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bible! by Jonathan Goldstein (pg. 66-67)
