It's clearly not the popular end.. IE not the end where people who go along to get along reside.
I'm not sure I understand the response. Go along to get along with what?
How impactful, how meaningful to a belief in a god...or your belief in your specific god, is your belief in floods or in a gods moral inscrutability? What is it doing for you that you feel compelled to take what you perceive to be an unpopular position on these two items? You appear to be aware that there are plenty of folks who don't have to tie their scrotums into knots about a boat to maintain belief in christ. You might also be aware that claiming god has the power to make it's evil acts good...somehow...isn't a thing that christian folks will instinctively reach for.
Why do you, what does it mean to you?
