Admittedly, the Great Flood is closer to an Omnicide than a genocide. But the larger point remains. And the point about punishing even those who never had the chance to know “The one true God” is a good one. It reminds me of an old joke: a missionary is trying to convince an Inuit to turn to Christianity, telling them about the fires awaiting them in Hell.
The Inuit thinks for a bit and asks “So, my ancestors never got a chance to learn about the One True God. Does this mean they’d be burning in Hell because they never knew about your God?”
The missionary, not used to thinking about it in those terms, says “No, God’s not like that. He’d show them mercy if they nobody ever told you.”
Then the Inuit raises his harpoon to the missionary and asks “Then why did you tell me?”
Honestly, I’d love to know what Sung, an Inuit himself, would make of such a story.
