Is God Guilty of killing instead of curing? Noah would say yes.
Though shall not kill.
Love thy neighbor as yourself.
God did the former and Noah did not do the latter.
As Noah watched all of his people drown, he must have been sickened by the sight of his God killing instead of curing His creations.
We play with the terms and conditions of genocide and as to it’s position of good or evil.
It seems to be evil for men but good for God.
Some justify God’s use of killing instead of curing to the fact, fact to them, that God created us and can damned well do what he likes with us.
Rather a poor use of God’s perfect creative talents but, what the hell.
If you were on a jury and had to decide on guilt or innocence for God and the use of genocide, what would you find, knowing that God had killed many times before and did not use some miracle to cure?
Guilty or not guilty of killing instead of curing?
Please state the main reason for your choice.

Regards
DL

God gave the people hundreds of years to repent.

God did provide a cure. His name is Jesus.

Fat lot of good Jesus (cure) did for all that perished in the flood you believe happened...Even I could think of better ways if I were God

You would need to gather all of the facts first. The bible does not contain all of the facts and to just base God off of the bible is just plain stupid.

I believe that the flood didn't happen and I also believe that Noah was a good person given facts from another source. If you want to base our opinions off of just the bible, God is innocent. Men wrote the bible to suit thier needs and it also represents their thoughts and feelings. Man is the guilty party, not God.

It could be that god created too many people and couldn't think of a better way to get rid of them.
Why blame god, he's a bungling, incompetent fool that probably can't even tie his own shoe laces without making a mistake. All he can do is rage with anger, as if that's a talent worthy of worship.

If a human shows a state of constant anger he would do well to seek help.
Like angry 24/7/365 for who knows how many thousands of years!

Those people had the same chance you & I do. I don't think you are in any position to wag your finger at God. He's the creator-He makes the rules. Doesn't matter if you don't believe in Him either.

Sorry, but he doesn't make my rules, and he didn't create me...Mom and dad get credit for that.

Since you don't know for sure that's true, I thank you for your opinion!
