It seems like Yahweh is no better than anyone else at the time, because I really don't see anything anyone did back then as worse than what Yahweh did. He was just butthurt that when the other tribes killed babies, they weren't praising his name when they did it.
That's the big issue. They weren't paying attention to him, so he killed them, or had his followers kill them. He didn't go around trying to improve society. He just gave commandments to one group of people, and declared everyone else evil. What were his efforts in trying to help Humanity grow, besides ordering their loyalty and threatening destruction if they didn't worship him?
Before the flood it was stated everything was evil. Exactly how were they so evil, and what did Yahweh try before deciding to destroy everything? The bible doesn't go into that. It only focuses on the fact that people weren't paying enough attention to him, so he kept having temper tantrums.
The babies that were killed by the pagans went to heaven also. They were all too young to make a decision in regard to following God. I don't know how all the people on earth lived before the flood. I just know they purposely opposed God. You just can't get over thinking that God should be the way you think you he should be. God is who he is, not who you think he should be.

If you call giving them an eternity of happiness as being a monster, then I'm guilty as charged.
