Are you that dense?
No sane parent would turn their child over to ANYONE that makes thrreats like that to any serious degree. dO THINK parents in real life would allow cops or judges to "test" thier loyalty like that?
If I came up to your kid and stuck a knife to their throat, does that mean I should be in charge just because I have the power to frighten you or bully you, even if I take the knife away and don't do it?
Thats what hostage takers do in doemestic home invasions and bank robbery situations. They don't want to actually harm anyone most of the time, but WILL let the hostages know and the cops know who is in charge. I hardly find that moral even if no one dies.
Secondly, there is death from the begining of the bible to the end of it, and not all old age natural death. But death that this alleged all powerful being either does not stop or actually sanctions for his "chosen people".
If we are even to assume the myth of the world flood story, it would not be a stretch to assume that even kids and babies outside the Noah family would exist. The story SAYS NOTHING about saving innocent babies, but treats all humans outside that family, including children and babies like trash for the mere crime of being born outside Noah. And on top of that the common excuse given by this fictional gods fans is that it is our fault, even the innocent kids who couldn't possibly comprehend atullt beefs.
THIRD, in real life 35 million peoole DIE world wide every year. that would be 350 MILLION in one decade alone, not to mention thousands of years. All while your fictional super hero does nothing to stop human suffering while his fans claims he is "all powerful", but seems to act like a selective deadbeat.
He is as a CHARACTER, as written, like reviewing a character in a book, can only be assesed as being inept or malicious.
But the third option is that bad and good in life are a result of nature and not a stupid comic book battle between Superman vs Kriptonite.
The point of the post isn't about weither someone died or not, but the mere act of bullying and hostage taking on the God character's part.
If I walk up to you and stick a gun to your head and say "Give me your wallet or I will shoot you dead", and then suddenly walk away without taking your wallet, am I moral even though I still threatened you?
That story is nothing more than a strong armed tactic and bullying for that petty tyrant to demand attention.
In real life NO ONE would respond that way to such an act. Most sane people would grab their kid, get away and call the police.
