The bronze age mythical "flood" story that we, as a general class of occupants of North America, have been continually subject to was not a genocidal event.
It was an Omnicidal event (if it actually happened).
The mythical destruction of the Amalekites is properly described as Genocide:
However, the "flood" would be more akin to an extinction level event, and, when deliberate, is properly termed Omnicide.
Square that with the purported benevolence ascribed to the little godlet of the bible.
There is no benevolence to be found there.
It is an omnicidal maniac.

(36,899 posts)Such an event is far outside the realm of possibility. For those who have deluded themselves into believing otherwise their answer to critics is hocus pocus. While utterly silly at least a more honest approach compared to the claim that a rework of an older mythology actually means something else.
