You don't think that the populating of the Earth before the flood wasn't done by any other means other than sexual intercourse as we know it, do you?

The generation immediately before the flood would be the first and only one that did not have children.

He hasn't even addressed my examples about murdered children and the like too.

I mean, he said it himself. God wants what's best for all people. So what was so good about what happened to Klaas, Budd, etc? And we can extend this to include victims of rape, genocide, murder, whatever else you want to list.

What is best out of any and all possible scenarios that people should suffer like that in the eyes of God?

So what was so Christian - so loving of liberty and justice for all - that African Americans were to be enslaved? What about women who were denied the right to vote, etc?

The age of 13 is when the superego develops... a child only cares about itself and no other... and that's why in the Bible when the wickedness of man is described it is usually talking about youth.

And your flawed paradigm, You are putting humanity on the level with God. You are taking the morals he put on humanity, and attempting to put those back on him. The creation does not rise to the level of the Creator, from God's perspective smiting an entire city, is no more immoral for him, than it is for you to jump on an anthill.

So genocide is moral from God's perspective?



If you assume the position that all Christianity is real, Morality from that standpoint is irrelevant, because God has authority, morality is a constraint placed on Humanity by God. He is master of the Universe and all creation, he has authority to kill or not kill. As the saying goes, "The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh away." It is immoral for men to commit Genocide for they have no such authority, and we were commanded by God, not to.

But for God to destroy say, Sodom, is no different than a surgeon removing a tumor.

What? So for one random generation, every adult decided to use contraception and thus amongst the millions of people, there was not one single child?
