Gods promise not to murder nearly every living thing on the planet again!! Well, using a flood anyway. He can do it other ways though (left himself a nice loophole there, lol).
point is, one cant deny horrible things in the bible, but are there christian traditions today which celebrate inhuman historical events? just asking.
