    We are talking about the Christian God (I presume), obviously he would do something terrible.

          The guy responsible for every evil act on earth? Definitely not.

            If god is omnipotent he could just snip his fingers and will satan out of existence.

            Something like the great flood is also a horrible evil when, god being omnipotent, he could just snip his fingers and make people not sinners.

            If he’s not actually omnipotent, sure, then a lot of things change, though overall I wouldn’t describe old testament god in particular as kind anyway. Also people seem to really insist on the omnipotence.

              He will.

              The flood was God punishing and destroying evil. People had free will

              The Old Testament God is the same as the one of the New Testament.

            God did that.

            Let’s see. Don’t eat from a tree (without explanation). They eat, and then he decides, “you know what, y’all get to suffer forever. Women, childbirth is going to be painful and deadly.” All because he gave them free will and then told them not to use it.

            Made up bullshit anyway.

              No, nobody was going to eat from the tree until Satan came along.

                Your laughing emoji just makes you seem like a clown. If you aren’t aware of the many many many atrocities committed by/in the name of God, you are like a child trying to debate an adult on this subject.
