God wasn't sorry for flooding the earth, he was sorry for having ever made man......what with them being horrible pieces of shit and all. Air tight case for genocide.
Not that it matters much, since it never happened.

That's your interpretation.

Just type into Google this: If God knew that Adam and Eve would sin, why did He create them?
FYI I'm about to leave for dinner in about minutes.
You'reoure referring to Genesis 67:6, right? That verse has an explanation!!

Yeah He may have committed it but it was Just!
Considering you even acknowledged yourself that they were wicked, that makes for an even stronger case that He was Just.

Enjoy your dinner.
I'm uncertain what searching "If God knew that Adam and Eve would sin, why did He create them?" has to do with our current discussion.
Is this the link?

The first line of the answer:
Answer: The Bible says that God created all things—including us—for Himself.
That does not reassure me of god being a good being whatsoever. "For himself" seems rather selfish; one would think a god was above that.

Quote: Its Adam that is blamed.
There was no "Adam."
Quote:There is an old Inca myth that goes something like this:
The first Inca man was created by Inti, the sun god. The god named him Manco Capac. The sun god did not want the man to be lonely. So he created a sister (a wife) for Manco Capac. She did not have a name. She was only a woman, and really did not need one.
There was no "Manco Capac," either. These are fairy tales invented by primitive men to explain their world. You should have moved on from it but I guess not.

Yes, however evil isn't a thing. That sounds weird but I have a link that talks about it.
When I look up what the verse is that says that Colossions 1:16 comes up.

Let's ignore the fact that I made no such acknowledgement and run with it. Genocide as a "just" punishment for "wickedness".
They were all wicked. Wicked wicked wicked. Lets kill them. Praise the lord, hallelujah. Hey, I bet we could find a bunch of wickeds loitering around today too! Who's up for another round of genocide?

Then perhaps you can describe it in your own words rather than referring me to a google search whereby I am uncertain if I have even clicked on the right link.
