    The flood sounds quite like collective punishment.

      They deserved it. Everyone but Noah, which is why he was saved

        Would the foetuses of any of the damned by considered guilty? I presume there must have been a few pregnant women murdered by that malevolent deity in that fairy story of your ilk (if you’re not on the wind-up, might I add).

          If anyone innocent was killed, they would have went to paradise anyway

            So god could kill as many innocents unjustly as he wants, as long as he sends them to paradise after?
            If so, it seems, any atrocity god commits could be justified.

                So yes as long as god sends people to the good place he can be as horrible as he wants to them before they die. Is there anything god could do that you would consider evil or unjust even if the people affected go to paradise at some point after? Or is not sending innocent bystanders he hurts to paradise the only thing god could do you would consider evil?

                  Paradise forever and also being healed still outweighs the worst torment that satan can do to you on earth.
