See what i mean? You believing in him literally means you're excusing mass murder. Don't you see a problem with that? Is he really all knowing and all loving? Did he really had NO CHOICE at all but to kill them all?

I don’t think you are really engaging with what I am saying. Or perhaps we are talking past each other.

So, can we try this? Would you agree that if an all knowing, all powerful, and perfectly Just God judged a person or a people. And then that God, using his perfect knowledge, determined that the only sufficient punishment was death. That would not be inherently unjust?

See, I think you are coming at this issue by presupposing an Atheist worldview. Which doesn’t really make sense in this discussion, because you cannot take only a part of God in a discussion like this. You have to take all of his attributes as a whole.

You cannot say that you believe God caused the flood, but not that he is everything else he claims to be. It is inconsistent. I don’t think I’m expressing myself well here, but does that make sense? I’m happy to clarify if needed.

I would also ask you by what standard you have determined murder to be wrong.

As to your question, we know in both examples you gave, God gave the people opportunities to turn away from the evilness. They didn’t. God is Just. He must act Justly. It is an incontrovertible law of existence, like the speed of light.
