Yes. Everyone deserved to be executed. Even children. They were stained from birth with the sin of Adam.

Keep in mind that God is sovereign and he can do what he wants with his creation. It's sinful and evil when human beings murder, but God can do what he wants.
Sometime I think people who believe vicious crap like this should be locked up....Excuse me while I take a shower....For some reason I feel dirty.

Yay for the atheist worldview.
Seems like it are the atheists saying that killing infants is wrong and s9me Christians who state that if God did it it must be right. So is killing infants morally wrong? 6es or no for the objective answer.

So incest was part of the bible.

That is not "objective morality". Objective morality would be the same for man or god. If it isn't then it is subjective.

You honestly believe that infants are evil and deserve death?

Please tell me how a human being could come up with a more moral solution.
Um, perhaps zapping dead only those who do evil, instead of the entire world? Judging on a case by case basis?

It would have made more sense then to NOT spare the 8 people in the ark, since they were stained with the sin of Adam too. Just wipe out the entire affair and start over. Create a better race of beings not stained with sin.

Nonsense. It's obviously wrong to commit mass murder. What's nutty is to insist a "god" which does so is worthy of worship.

Even if the god of the Bible existed, I would still choose to give it the exact amount of adoration it deserves: none at all.

In reality, fear is a force on a spiritual level that chokes the very life out of you the more that you give into it. It paralyzes people. Then there is the message of uconditional love and forgiveness. In your world, respect has to EARNED, love is conditional and so is forgiveness. That does not make for a pleasant society. I don't want to live in a society where I have to do things first before someone gives me some common decency and respect.
Today I observed a schizophrenic yelling angrily at voices only she could hear. The voices aren't real.
