How do you know God was being unjust? Do you have all the facts?

I think you are wrong here. I think there are societies where fathers would do this. Furthermore, based on your own view of morality, your label of them as immoral and unjust only has meaning for you and those who think the way you do. It (your label of them as immoral and unjust) would be meaningless to those in the society which thinks those things are ok as they would just think you are crazy.

I think you are wrong here again. Joshua, Chapter 2, tells of Rahab and her family which did have a chance to convert, did, and were then saved from the destruction. Why would you think it was any different for the rest?
