1. You're acting as though we cannot judge the morality of fictional characters. "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."
2. If God was willing to destroy the Cananites to 'prevent evil', and flood the world to 'prevent evil', why didn't he stop the Holocaust? Sudden decline in birth rates of German people, including the Hitler family would have done wonders. You don't get to have it both ways. You can't say "Well God did prevent evil, but you all see it as Evil!" and then not answer why he stopped preventing evil as soon as reliable methods of mass communication became available.
3. You're focusing on a single event, and ignoring all the other immoral acts that God is claimed to have done.
4. Being consistent doesn't equal being moral.
