No, but why would a perfect god create imperfect people, then realize his mistake, and start over by committing mass murder?

Now who's ridiculing others' beliefs. So quick to condemn others for persecution of your views, yet you call my views "a lie straight from the pit of hell."
Quote:What part of "with God ALL things are possible" don't you understand? He could flood the earth one second and in the next dry the water up.
sure... but why? That leaves all the fish, whales, and waterfowl to fend for themselves. If you're going to load up two of everything, then kill everything else with water, that's not such a bad deal for water creatures. Now if you argue that god killed everything in the water, why didn't he just snap his fingers and kill everyone without the drama of a flood? Why would god [an omnipotent being] need the spectacle, drama, and pomp of a huge 6-mile-deep flood, then have someone write it in the exact same way other religions have said it for several thousand years?
The more likely answer is (as the jewish leaders have already determined) that the OT is a collection of fictional stories.
Quote:If you don't mind my asking, who is your god?
The same god as you, only I happen to have been given different truths than you. We've both swallowed them; only my knowledge has come straight from god whereas yours has been filtered through millions of christians before you, and you swallowed what they said instead of what god said.
