    Religious people aren't known for reading the death cult drivel they spout off

    I was in a philosophy class once and another student proudly announced that she believes every word in the Bible, but she had never read it

    Should’ve decked her and quoted Austin 3:16.

    That was definitely one way to announce that she’s more Play-Doh than Plato.

    It’s like Taylor swift saying she knows Aristotle. You know someone who’s done more than cliff notes. It’s okay to have questions but you gotta read to have them.

    Sodom and Gomorrah got canceled so hard that Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt for even looking back at it.

    tbf that was Abrahamic God 1.0

    God 2.0 gives everybody a shot, with some strings attached

    (And let's not get started on 3.0 or 3.5 -- there are reversions and expansions lol)

    Yes the human condition is still roughly similar to ~3000 BCE* - nothing has changed :P

    It was a death cult then, it's still a death cult now. Modernization hasn't changed it, it's made it more insidious.

    And what happened right after the flood? You know that whole rainbow and new covenant thing! And then he went a step further and sent his Son to take the punishment for our sins. But I know that is all falling on deaf ears. So let the hate and downvotes again.

    None of that changes the fact that he set aside a few people then canceled literally every other last human being on the planet. The women and children included. This means there were countless little children and babies that died screaming as the flood waters rose and rose and God ignored them.

    According to His word.

    All those little children were drowned by your loving god.

    God didn't ignore them. He killed them all because they were corrupted. He doesn't do that anymore as it upset even Him. By sending Jesus to die for our sins, he has provided a way for you and I to receive His full grace and forgiveness. God is all loving but he is also just. People often confuse grace, mercy, and love with enabling, tolerance, and allowance. The fact is that each of us will be held accountable for our actions when we bow before Him. And that is not a lack of love, that is tough love and giving what is deserving. But there is a way to withstand that judgement by simply asking, believing, repenting, and doing better. I recommend you read the book of Job if you have not already done so.

    He killed them all because they they were corrupted.

    How directly the fuck is a newborn corrupted? Or the 6 month olds? Or the 7 month olds? Or the 8 month olds?

    I know it's foreign to you, but original sin. Clearly you have not seen what a child is capable of doing. Again, He made a covenant to never destroy the earth again and instead sent His son to die for you and me. That is a difficult concept to understand but there could be no greater love. Again, read the book of Job. Who are we to question the thoughts and minds of He who created the universe and everything in it. Pretty arrogant don't you think! Please don't try to raise yourself to the level of knowing Gods will.
