Flooding the earth was the best he could come up with? He’s supposed to be all knowing and all powerful. He could’ve worked something out without resorting to genocide.
That's an interesting point, I always assumed that omnipotence meant everything would be trivialy easy, but I suppose that might not be true. It would explain why he decided a flood would be the easiest 'reset button', but even if that's the case it really calls into question his omniscience
Genesis 6:7 he said, “I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me that I have made them.”
People say this is a conflict with being omniscient, but that's thinking temporally. For an entity that's timeless, it's all happening at once (or there is no once, it just all is) so he can have a master plan and make mistakes too. There's probably more coming.
If there was a god of any type, he sucks. But since there isn't a designer of any sort, the mess we see around us (good and bad) is completely understandable.
Heretic is typically used on a believer that migrates away from the official dogma, either a little or a lot. Fortunately I was never part of that.
He either knew it was a mistake before he even thought to start like they say and fucked up on purpose, or he isnt all knowing and is as fickle as any man, making him hardly a god at all
Logic, for religion. How would that work? I was just using their words to try and create some kind of jargon to make it work. Clearly it doesn't. Would love to know if the downvotes are for your stated reason, or from upset theists. They don't like to look too much behind the curtain.
Some clever bastard figured out an exploit (buoyancy) and humanity has just been going ham on god’s plan of creating utopia since. He’s just been trying to come up with ways to wipe humanity without a full reset since and the fuckers keep out-engineering and out-breeding his efforts.
Sooner or later he’s going to have to eat crow and reconcile with the god of Jupiter or with Sol to either fling a big rock from the asteroid belt or send a giant solar flare. It’s a hard sell, though. After bragging for so long about creating life, both are a little sick of Terra. Besides, they kind of like that more of Terra’s insane little creations revere them than revere Terra.
I remember a cartoon I saw in a magazine decades ago. It was 2 people, both obviously gods. The one that was larger and bearded was looking down on a smaller child like person. The child was showing the adult a planet he had created, (earth) in his cupped hands. The adult sized god looks down at it simply says, "And now that you have had your little joke....."

"Getting"?

You could have easily cropped out the snickers part. Corpo plugs aren't really welcome here.
crop the snickers part, you got it
oh we've got an edgy one here
some of these folks take themselves and their shitpost commenting too seriously
i have so many edges that im impractical to sharpen
true that, but you still could take out the corporate logo since it just annoys people here
Those flies totally had it coming!
Except to Job, he for whatever reason hated that guy and loved to torment him.
A lot of people have jobs they hate
God predicted capitalism
Haven’t you ever played the sims?
“But he loves you.”

Also god 'hell yeah chosen people, go murder them rats with no concern, strip down their girls and fuck em in the pussy holes!'
Only the shittiest of carpenters blames the tools he made himself, for his own embarrassment.
Flooding the earth was the best he could come up with? He’s supposed to be all knowing and all powerful. He could’ve worked something out without resorting to genocide.
But why would he do that, it's often easier to start from scratch than fix something broken.
It's not much different than starting a new game of SIMS and deleting your old characters.
If you're omniscient, all-knowing, and all powerful, does the concept of what's "easier" even matter?
God just might be lazy.

Is God's in-moment regret a part of his plan?
"I need to look like I didn't see this coming."
”God works in mysterious ways ”
Genesis 6:7 he said, “I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me that I have made them.”
God aborts the whole world
Christians: this is fine
Woman aborts one foetus
Christians: burn her, she's a witch

So are u saying they aren't omniscent?
Hey, we all get a headcanon for our fandoms, right?
Sounds like you're saying God isn't perfect, you little heretic.

He is like that incompetent boss, as a matter of fact.
That doesn't have any logic, how being timeless excuse a perfect entity for making mistakes?

Nah I think most people (like me) didn't get the sarcasm. At least your first comment worked as that is exactly what an apologist would say.
Beginning of the book, he’s already done with us.
Like a streamer who ragequits 90 seconds into his first game because he's not immediately goated at it
Tbh the world being God streaming a game of the Sims makes more sense
Being fair, I've only been here a little under thirty years and I'm already thoroughly sick of us as a whole. I can't imagine an eternity of it.

I like how God decided to ragequit The Sims game he was playing.
God: eternal and omniscient.
Also god: surprised pikachu.
“Fuck you, and fuck you, and fuck you,“ (to aquatic life) “you’re cool,” (to last land animal group) “and fuck you. You’re out.”
—— God, probably
edit: punctuation
Not the fish though. Seems that God was an evolutionist and agreed the transition to land was a bad idea.

Man, what a shit deity. So much for "omnipotent" if he can't create shit he won't regret.
Such a swell dude.
Not only that, but he failed to wipe out the humans and animals. Not exactly instilling confidence...
When I was a kid I used this as an example of the Christian God being a complete monster. Now I look around and wish he'd been more thorough.
