In the story sin was so widespread that Noah and his family were basically the only ones left that were free from sin. And if you see sin as a cancer spreading and rapidly taking over, it's easier to euthanize and begin anew. One could imagine that if the world was allowed to keep going then sin would only get worse and humanity would just keep getting more and more depraved and miserable. Now god as an omnipotent being should have been able to predict all of this, which is a giant plot hole in the story. But despite that I don't think it's too unreasonable. It's like if you built a rabbit house but it turns out all the rabbits (except a couple) get rabies and all start biting each other. Better to euthanize everyone and start over.
Well there it was extremely clear that Sodom and Gomorrah did not have a single non sinner left. That's kind of the main plot point in that story. Abraham tries to save the cities by negotiating with god that if he finds just 50 righteous people god won't destroy the cities. This is negotiated down and down until god promises that he will save the cities if just 10 righteous persons are found. Abraham finds no one except for Lots family hence the cities are destroyed, after Lot and his family were rescued.
If you're all powerful, no it's not.
God can be all powerful and lazy at the same time. I know I would be lazy if I were a god.
There is no such thing as lazy when you are infinite. That's not how infinites work. All things are equally difficult and are as difficult as nothing.
That's not true. There are literally infinities that are infinitely bigger than other infinities. Mathematically. Some of these actually show up in how physics equations ended up being constructed. It's actually quite fascinating.
Though the God of the Bible as Christians believe is... definitely an incongruent mess.
That's what I tell myself when I want a snack but am already comfortable in my spot.
Do gods, or the god need moral justification? That's not demonstrated much in the Bible afaik.
If they want to be called "absolutely good" and claim being the one perfect justice, being moral would not be wrong...
Maybe they don't care what we call them? And I don't think there is a moral singularity; morality depends on perspective.
Bad argument. If God is omnipotent, then "easier" isn't a concept, it has no bearing on his actions whatsoever. If he is who he says he is, then he can and will do whatever is best in light of eternity. In the case of the flood (and the entire old testament really), it's all foreshadowing to Christ.
What about the Original Sin? I thought we are all sinners, no matter what?
And his whole family just happened to be great, while every single other person was terrible? Guess there were no 'black sheep' in Noah's family, huh?
Appreciate the insight based on the lore! You have a negative score at the time of my reply, but you make good points based the book(s)! Upvote from this agnostic!
