Fact of the matter is, whether it was to punish his wayward creations or not, killing people, killing CHILDREN is wrong and evil I don't care who you are, a person or God. Killing, children especially, is wrong.
We as human beings do not kill our children when they make mistakes, even children who are blatantly horrible to their parents, steal money from them, do drugs, lash out at them etc., do all sorts of things that could cause a person to hate them, that spark of love for their CHILD still exists and they don't want to see any harm come to them. We punish them in ways that will help them see, hope it will help them change, and even if they don't change, even if they become worse, we NEVER give up on them and we NEVER would just throw our hands up in the air and kill them and send them to a place where they would burn and suffer for eternity. Hence God could learn from US about mercy and love for ones offspring.

~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~
