There is a big difference between humans killing animals for food because they depend on it and a supposedly all-loving God killing just because he didn't like the fact that humans sinned. His displeasure was with the humans not the animals. Seriously, do you really see this as moral and fair?
Quote:Do you know what God's reason was? I don'tLet me refresh your memory: As per the Bible it was because the humans sinned too much for his liking therefore he decided to kill them all. (Genesis 6:1 - 9:17)
Quote: The fact is, Craveman, you are looking at all of this, including the death of humans, and you put God on the same level as you and I do not agree with this perspective at all.I don't go around killing humans (and animals just for added extra) just because they have sinned. Taking into consideration that God's idea of sinning is when people are gay, work on a Sabbath, have a different religion, to name a few. So I will actually like to put myself above the level of your so called "loving" God. I really do not wish to be assosiated with him...
Quote:The Bible tells of a God who is the standard for everything and because we do not have perfect knowledge like God, God put some limits on us as humans (do not murder). It does not tell of a God who is to be judged as a human. So I will now conclude that you have not yet shown any inconsistency in the Bible. You have merely shown that you do not understand the Bible.Damn! All of this because you didn't agree with one example that I gave you? You want inconsistancies? Here you go:
