But what about the children?? Did these innocent children deserve to die ?? Well, (IMO) I'm sure Noah tried to gather these children into the ark, but I'm also sure the parents of these children would not allow it.

Hey everybody! When our fairy tales fail(in an epic, humiliating manner), let's quietly rewrite them and hope no one will notice or read that particular fable!
By the way, David, you basically said that your god is weaker than some kid's parents.
I'm also sure the parents of these children would not allow it.
What? You want to go on a boat ride with that crazy old drunk? Now? Hell, no, you're not. You aren't even getting into that flimsy big box full of elephant shit. If it even floats, which I doubt, you might wind up in fucking Turkey, f'mithrasakes, and how will you ever get home, huh? Walk? Swim? Bullshit. Go fix the leaky roof like your father told you to; looks like rain.
Fuck, just how big was this bloody imaginary boat?
Or maybe the parents were scared the dinosaurs on board would eat their children.
"There were multitudes and multitudes of tiny little children, and [God] knew they had never done him any harm; but their relations had, and that was enough for him: he saw the waters rise toward their screaming lips, he saw the wild terror in their eyes, he saw that agony of appeal in the mothers' faces which would have touched any heart but his, but he was after the guiltless particularly, and he drowned those poor little chaps."
- Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth
"O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."
- Psalm 137:8-9, KJV
Face it king, your god hates the little children, all the little children of the world.

Ah, Letters from the Earth. It should be required reading, period. I read this maybe 50 years ago, and though I enjoyed it, as I do all of Mark Twain, I see now how little I understood it then. Thanks to FSTDT and seeing the insanity of fundies I am enjoying the letters immeasurably, now. Thanks for the suggestion. The last time I read it there were no computers. Now everybody can read it on line, for free, and keep it handy.
He is a marvel -- man is! I would I knew who invented him.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
