Where is the evidence that God approved of or supported Noah's curse?

I agree that the story is about familial dysfunction. Noah was wrong to get drunk and naked, his son was wrong to tell everybody about it and Noah was wrong to curse his son and even his grandson, who wasn't even involved.

IMO, the story is telling us what happens to relationships when we live according to the flesh.

On a more basic level the story is showing, vividly, that the judgment of the flood did not solve man's basic sin problem. Man was just as fallen as before. Another solution was still needed.

I don't think the story has anything to do with authority. Why even think to go there in the first place? Unless you have a predisposition toward extreme authority like... the Chinese do? Again, where is the biblical evidence that God stood behind Noah's curse?

It's amazing that people can create whole theologies based on analogies that the Bible does not even confirm. That's very dangerous exegesis if you ask me. And now here a bunch of people are arguing about this imagined and unconfirmed theology. Astounding when you think about it. Lives get affected by stuff like this.
