19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
In Genesis 7, it is very plainly stated that God kills everyone on Earth, sparing only Noah and those who are on the ark with him. Of the people he killed, around a third were likely to be children, all of whom would be completely innocent. They would also be well below the age of accountability.
Think about all of the innocent children that God murdered. Think about all of the innocent animals that he caused to suffer and die. If Noah saved two puppies, God killed the rest. If Noah saved two kittens, then how many more did God drown? How many koalas did he drown?
One thing that no one thinks about is what happened when the flood waters receded. Sure, the creatures of the sea survived the flood just fine, but what about all the dolphins that may have been stranded when the waters receded? How much death did he cause? God killed every living thing on the planet, except for what was in one boat.
If you are a Christian, you have to understand that God killed men, women, and children, not to mention countless animals. He drowned them to death by flooding the entire planet. Whether these people were evil or not, he did not give them the chance for redemption. He does not reveal himself to them and tell them to straighten themselves out or else he’d wipe them out. Instead, he reveals himself to one man and tells him to build a boat because he’ll drown everyone but him. It seems to me like God simply enjoys watching people suffer and die, a sentiment that is supported by the rest of the wretched book that is the King James Bible.
