~Don't Piss Off Noah when He's Been Drinkin' ~

Not a Christian. I've Never Read the Bible.
But there is no doubt this book has been exceptionally consequential to human civilization.
What's actually written in this thing that has shaped so many lives?
I invite you to explore with me -- on this chapter by chapter "Bible Reaction" journey.

***

1)
It sounds like God here is creating the concept of Man's Law vs. God's Law.
Basically, saying you humans down there need to be responsible for yourselves from now on with your own affairs.
I'm out. Not gonna meddle any more.
Is that what I'm reading here?

2)
So one of Noah's sons walks by his ten and sees him passed out drunk and naked.
So Noah (being a good man for his time) doesn't curse himself for drinking himself into oblivion and passing out naked in his tent, but curses his son for walking by and noticing...

I must be missing something here...

Was his son sneaking around and spying? Was he "gossiping"?
Is Noah just a mean drunk and overreacting?

Please explain this to me...
