A judge can sentence a criminal with neither benevolence or malevolence.So, then God is an all-good judge whose sentences need not involve either perfect justice or perfect mercifulness (however those two terms correspond) but can simply be indifferent, and such a case would include destroying 99.9% of all life on earth by a flood? What would a malevolent intention or act be in your view?
