Setting aside that you used the word genocide wrong, you think people whose "thoughts and hearts were evil all the time" should be put in time-out? Are you saying that God was not justified in wiping the slate clean? On what do you base that?

Yeah, all those infants and children running around with evil hearts.  Shame god couldn't know what would happen when he made them.  Justice, indeed...  Love, indeed...

How do you guys feel about the violent/hateful verses in the Torah, Quran and Bible?

How do you reconcile these contradicting ideas? That Christanity/Islam/Judiasm is peaceful, yet their scriptures contain verses that would make even the most violent sociopath cringe a bit....?

Do you have examples of accepted "bad" behavior?

Leaving yourself a nice out, aren't you?  Anything he mentions, you'll just claim it's not accepted, or he's not reading it correctly. He didn't mention behaviour or what was accepted, just that there are violent and horrific passages in the bible and the Koran.
It seems the only argument you ever use.
