"As to wrath, remember God is in charge and although He does allow free will, God can certainly punish evil and can curtail its spread."
Apparently not. Even though he flooded the earth to kill everyone except one family (genetics problem anyone?) evil is apparently still here and flourishing.

Years ago, when William the Welsh Springer I spoke of elsewhere was a pup, he used to go mental over his squeaky toy. On one delightful occasion he was having a rare old time rolling about the floor with it and squeaking like mad. Eventually he got tired and walked off for a rest. Whereupon his elder, Ben (a labrador cross), who had been lying there observing all this time, simply stood up, walked over to the toy, trod on it once to squeak it, then walked back to lie down again. Instantly William was set off again for another hour...
