Explain to me how a God who has committed genocide can be considered "Loving"
The fact that people can actually believe that the christian God is all-loving truly blows my mind. How can someone who committed genocide be considered loving? He killed countless people, newborn babies included, and thousands of different plants and animals. Were the animals also sinners?
Furthermore, this "loving" God committed all these murders because people weren't using their "free will" in the exact way he had intended. That's right guys, you have to use your free will exactly how God wanted you to use it, otherwise you get killed.
Wanna know what the best part of this is? God knew that this would eventually happen. Christians believe that he is omnipotent and omniscient, which means that God knew that people would "sin" and he would commit genocide.
So, here's the fun part. You guys get to try to justify genocide to me. Explain to me how a loving, caring father can ruthlessly murder millions of his children. This is gonna be good.
Purse, out.

You may think that this punishment is death, which is worse than being grounded or something. But these people weren't just lying or taking something. Everyone except Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, were extremely wicked. Adultery, murder, lying, stealing, and things like that were normal. If you created a world and people to live in it, and those people had no respect for you, your laws and your creation, would you be happy? Later, as stated in John 3:16, He sent his only son to die so people would be able to get forgiveness of all their sins, so they could avoid that punishment. You just have to have faith that it is there and accept that gift. It is like (this isn't a great simile, as this gift is no where near as good as salvation) some comes up to you and gives you a billion dollars. They tell you they love you and want you to have it. You don't understand why, but you will still take it. [spoiler]This may not make a whole lot of sense, but I did my best.[/spoiler]
