And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: all in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died" (Genesis 6:5-7:22).

It is obvious you do not comprehend the scriptures.🙂
Why would a loving god communicate in riddles what we need to comprehend if we are not to spend an eternity in hell ?
Why would a loving god kill everyone except noah and a few of his mates ?
What a joke !
I could just as easily say that it is obvious that people do not comprehend and accept god's will to eliminate infidels.
