Re: Flood
If taken literally, it seems to be telling us that God is an evil bastard who will kill us at the drop of a hat if we step out of line. If taken figuratively, it tells us to be good and we'll be saved. Hmm... do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
The "evil God" concept that you are pushing just makes me want to fight back.
OK, are you then a believer, and is this because you deny that God did such things as the worldwide flood, and drawn to follow Jesus?
