But if we're to take the Bible literally, did God do anything so different than those three by indiscriminately killing virtually every human on earth with the great flood?
I went to 2 RCC grade schools. Both closed. My city had 4 of them as I was growing up. Now they have 1, and its headcount by itself is not larger than when there were 3 more.
My RCC high school is one of a few surviving with 1/2 the kids it had when I was there, and overall RCC HS headcount in my state is under 25% of that era's headcount, but public schools here did not shrink nearly as much in headcount.
All over this nation, thousands of RCC churches and schools have closed..permanently.
There is a big reason for that,MONEY! Catholic schools are no longer run and taught by nuns,they must comply with state and goverment regulations and that means highly qualified teachers with accreditation and degrees and that costs money. My wife is a teacher at a Catholic school(Blue Ribbon school) and it has seen an up swing in enrollment due to the bad public schools and the willingness of parents to sacrifice all they can for their children.

Who are we to judge God? Only God is God. If we could judge God then we would be God. God makes laws for us to obey. He punishes us when we don't. We can't judge His punishments, only accept them.
As for evil: God did not bring evil into the world, neither did He make it. It was made by Lucifer when he fell from Heaven and brought into the world through Woman. Since then evil has been in the world. Those who break God's laws commit evil: disobedience to God.

and parents, post pedophilia scandal, are wisely sending Junior to non RCC schools.
