Nah, just the Abrahmic god that decided to flood the world and kill nearly everyone on it innocent or not.
"Kill your son."
"What...?"
"Do it, prove to me that you care more about doing what I say than you do about your own son."
"Are you serious? That's horrible."
"Fucking do it. You want to spend infinite lifetimes in permanent anguish? Kill him. Now. Cut him open on that big flat rock over there. Gut him with a big fuck off knife, like a sword or something. Slice him up."
"But he's my son, I live him."
"Sharpen the knife first then. Kill him, or I kill you, and him, and the rest of your family."
"Ok, but, ffs, this is insane..."
"Haha I was just foolin, you don't have to. I was just joshin. Just joshin with ya."
"Should I... Do you want me to kill my son or..."
"WTF no! I was just messing around. But seriously don't ever disobey me or you're fucking done."
God douche: It was just a prank dude! Since 7th centru AD!
Impractical Deities be like "Okay Sal, now tell him to bring his kid up to the top of the mountain and kill it."
I mean, Noah warned them, so yea-
Hey you're gonna die, it's on you now wink
Not what he said
Where you there? lol
Noah warned some people, what about the rest of the planet? I'm sure native Americans enjoyed suddenly being drowned with no warning.
Back then "the entire world" was a slang term for you neighborhood.
Ah yes, because the story clearly talks about Noah easily finding land again because only a small part of the world was flooded.
The whole story was bullshit, however floods throughout history are extremely common. Just look at the Libya flood.
Old tales from the bible were loosely based off of real life, but embellished heavily.
No shit, but the story still makes god an evil villain.
