The flood didn't just "happen," God willfully made it happen. Which makes him a murderer. He could have...ya know...NOT done it.
Quote:In the case of Sodom and Gomorrah God said he would spare the city if he could find just 10 righteous people living there.
Ah, he'd spare the city, but would he have spared the teenage girls being offered up to an angry mob of rapists?
But, this is besides the obvious point that God could have just shown mercy and NOT murdered an entire city of people, rather than laying down a ridiculous ultimatum he knew they couldn't meet, and then placing the blame on the victims...
Quote:Adam was doing fine for at least 1000 years before Eve showed up...
Again...Eve did not just "show up". God intentionally created her and with full knowledge that she was going to disappoint him. You seem to like to deflect the responsibility of god's actions away from him.
Quote:Lifelong sexual assault, what?
Stay with me Hugs. In your words, 'women back then had no say in who they married, so by your definition all prearranged marriages were rapes.' Yes. When you are forced to have sex with someone who you don't want to have sex with...that is rape/sexual assault.
So, I'll repeat the question. You consider it just to punish an entire population of women in such a cruel and tortuous way, for the deeds of one human? ESPECIALLY considering that God had full knowledge of it before hand?
