JoeB131: I think this diminished Christianity as a moral philosophy. Surely an omnipotent God could have found another solution to the flaws of humanity that didn't involve genocide or infanticide.
Appallingly, God drowned unborn children in the flood. This indisputably necessary consequence of his actions should ironically put a huge kink in the pro-life arguments from the church. God aborts countless unborn children for the questionable sins of their parents, yet the church expects society not to do the same? Infants and young children who do not possess the intellectual capacity to tell right from wrong were also casualties of the flood! How could they be among the wicked and evil? These are hardly the actions of the loving God depicted in the New Testament. The innocent children didn’t deserve the fate God inexcusably dealt them, end of story. Helpless animals also suffered the horrible fate of the children. However, given the apparently twisted love that God has for smells from animal sacrifices (Genesis 8:20-21), that last point shouldn’t have been very surprising to someone familiar with the Bible.
I think this diminished Christianity as a moral philosophy.
... as the event did not occur ?
... as the event occurred illustrating the Biblical religions distortion of the Deities intent ?
obviously by the first there is no basis for Biblical religions moral or otherwise.
the second, for some the correct answer is also the answer that validates further discussion per the Commandment by God of Remission - to the OuterWorld of the Everlasting as the objective or perish - and verifies the diminished Biblical religions moral philosophy.
otherwise what is the point of the Thread ???
"Helpless animals also suffered the horrible fate" - this is incorrect as an example of those restricted to Biblical accounts in their beliefs than to a true path to Remission.
Surely an omnipotent God could have found another solution to the flaws of humanity that didn't involve genocide or infanticide ... Appallingly, God drowned unborn children in the flood. This indisputably necessary consequence -
the above and the other associations are to Mankind's relevance per their existence - that is only a temporary condition on review and with already a negative downgrade ... figure that out yourselves.
