The Noah Covenant

According to the theologians, the Noah covenant is a covenant of love. God recognizes our shortcomings as a race. Because of a few who are righteous, God promises to keep the earth going in continuity from season to season and year to year. The rainbow reminds us of God's promise and His care. No matter how bad things get, God will never destroy us through a flood.

This is all fine and dandy. However, in the meantime, by what standard of decency, nay, by what measure of morality - should God tell us how to raise our children when He, as an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-just God had drowned his own children? Come on God, are you really that kind of an emotionally unstable supernatural WIMP?? Poch Suzara
