There is no law against killing. The Ten Commandments says "Thou Shalt not Murder", not "Thou Shalt Not Kill".
Ok, let's play your semantic game.
God told Noah what he was going to do. In other words, this was well planned. If that's not murder, I don't know what is.
Its not a justification of genocide, its not even genocide.
Killing everyone on the face of the planet except for a hand full of people is not genocide?

I mean, you sound just like the evangelicals in assuming that your opinions are somehow the correct ones.
Just because the correct answer is in dispute doesn't mean there is no correct answer.
The evangelicals would have us to believe that their self-proscribe all loving, all merciful god is a homicidal/genocidal maniac. I'm going to take a leap of logic here and say that this view is clearly wrong.

No. He sent prophets (Enoch and Noah) to warn the people that a flood was coming, and the people rejected the idea. Evidently, they didnt care about their children and babies. It was the foolishness of the parents that led to the death of their children.
This reminds me of Nazi Germany. The foolishness of the Jews to settle and live in central Europe caused millions of their descendants to die in death camps. You are following the typical christian pattern of blaming the victims.
By the way, please help me identify the animal "kinds" in Noah's Ark in this thread. For now, we're still on mammals. Message 25 is the comprehensive list so far.

Its not like some guy came to all the Jews 50 years before the holocaust and said "Listen Everyone! In 50 years a man named Adolf Hitler will kill all you and your decendants! Flee now!" Most of the Jews didnt have any warning, unlike the antideluvians who had ample warning.
Could you please learn a little history before you make a comment like this?
Based on the history of central Europe in regard to anti-semitism, the Holocaust was inevitable. The only thing that surprised people was the extent of the systematic extermination came up by the nazis.
In fact, I haven't met a single historian that thought it was surprising the Holocaust ever happened at all even after 6 thousand years of civilization. For centuries, Europe as a whole was only a couple steps away from bringing about the Holocaust.
And apparently, after 6 thousand years of civilization and the Holocaust, it's not surprising that we still have someone like you who is trying to justify genocide. I deal with people like you almost on a daily basis.
