Should I take your word for it? Can you read everyone's thoughts?
In summation most of the arguments stated here misrepresent what the scriptures say. God judged the earth because the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Somehow that statement in the posters minds becomes: God murders babies. You have created a false image, a straw man, to be precise.
Orangebox, you are so deep in your delusion. Why should I take anything the bible says to heart? It's a book of fiction with real places scattered about, in order to make it SEEM real to those who are silly enough to buy into it. And the saddest part of all? It seems to make people (christians) come across as idiots and whiny children who can't make logical sense anymore (if they ever could). Just reading xtian posts in this forum since I've joined, I'm embarrassed for you guys.
Oh, and god DOES murder babies. Can't argue your way out of that one. Anyway you look at it, that's whats happening in your book.
As I mentioned before... What kind of sick god must he be, that he knows that the majority of the world is going to hell, yet he STILL goes ahead in a moment of selfishness and creates humans. Sorry, it doesn't sit with a loving, all powerful god. Your facts are ALL wrong, on so many levels. It's terribly sad that you can't see it for what it is. A load of rubbish.
