God is the creator and care taker of His people and does as His will requires. Wiping out a whole nation for it's attacks on His people is God's right, He did create them. Just as you have the right to destroy anything you make. Wiping out the entire world with a flood holds the same as I described above. God will protect His plan against anything that would try and prevent them, whether they are aware of what they are doing or not, their intent was evil nonetheless.
I think curing is the best moral position yet God kills.
Should a God who kills instead of curing be adored, or should such a God be hated?

How do you cure a people that refuses to believe in God, who would do everything they can to go against His people, atheist should give this serious thought before condemning God for exercising His rights as the creator and savior of man.
God should always be adored, because His will is for the salvation of those who will choose to believe in Christ Jesus and he will defend against all who stand in the way. Jesus said if you are not for me you are against me and it is the later that God will defend His people from when He deems it the best thing to do.

The part in bold seems to be indicative of limited, win-lose (binary) thinking. IMO, it would seem reasonable to be open to the possibility that the middle ground between any two choices can effectively reshape the various positions that people will take on any given issue, provided that such issues are approached with an open mind. Hence, given the part in bold, since your deity is believed to be the ultimate source of love and goodness, then does it make sense that a more open-minded/mutually beneficial approach toward any given issue is in greater accordance with this being's loving nature than a close-minded, win-lose approach? Thanks.
