When you study Gen 6, where the story of the flood is, you'll see that God was killing off the giants. When you look at the etymology of the word "giants" that's used in that chapter, you'll see that they were nephilims. This is what God was killing off.
So happy to see you! :)

So it's a fact that the Christian God who is Jesus, kills people (Or lets say for the sake of the argument) has killed people.

God has killed millions, and not just evil people (Animals, children & infants both male and female)

How is this acceptable?
The big picture. Sometimes it's better in the grand scheme of things for judgement and destruction to happen because it far outweighs the destruction that would happen if the situation isn't dealt with.

A master race of human/alien crossbreeds. The "heroes of old". Many people think we have more of their descendents today in some form or another.

That's quite a ball of wax.

By the way, hi again LOLOKGal.

What makes you worthy of life? You did not create it. You can take credit for nothing. Not even your intellect which rebels against God due to your pride. According to the beliefs of many non believers, your intellect is a random accident of chance.
We all are, since we exist.

We wouldn't exist if we were worthless

(Think about it)

So, tell me, OP, you obviously reject God, but feel you are deserving of life.
Jesus holds the keys to life and death, for all life is found in Him. Do you want
to go to heaven? That was an anomaly I found in some non believers. They want
to thumb their nose at God but then cry about how unfair it is that He will not
allow hem into His house if they refuse to acknowledge His existence. Or they
make fun of living forever after as if our resurrected bodies are going to be like
the ones we inhabit now, and they judge life by this fallen sinful corrupted world
when the life to come will be free from the taint of sin and death will be no more,
for the mortal shall put on the immortal and the corruptible puts on the incorruptible
through faith in Christ alone. Do you have any feelings at all for Jesus Christ?

Well, why kill anyone or anything not implicated with the evil he see's.
I am not sure if I understand your view here. Physical bodies are not made to be eternal. Our planet is made for a life that is incoming and then leaving, making space for another new lifes.
Does God cut short the lives of animals, children and babies because they all will end up in heaven?
What do you mean by "short"? What is the life span we are guaranteed to have? And who guaranteed it?

Sure. Nothing existed and then nothing exploded and everything came into existence from nothing and suddenly life sprang from inorganic matter and consciousness arose from nothing, and you deserve to exist because some cosmic accident spewed you out of nothingness? Lovely :) According to you then even the lowest of the low deserve all the perks of life? Simply because they exist. And yet you complain of people not having to take responsibility. Where is the responsibility in your view?

Thats exactly right, we wouldn't exist if we were worthless. Thats why God values us, so much so that Jesus died on the cross for us and resurrected for our justification (right-standing) before God. You are not a mistake, you are not worthless. You are 100% correct in this estimation. Your value to God is the cost of His Son's death, and that is the Son in whom He is well pleased. Jesus died for you. You, at the very least, are worth that.

He does not believe that, though. According to his beliefs it seems he deserves to exist simply because he does, by way of some grand cosmic accident :)

Yeah Ben, but that still leaves the question why God needs to kill anyone or anything.

Let me get this right in my head, you actually know Jesus holds the keys to life and death? Or do you just believe this to be so?

God destroys all who He knows are or will be wicked. When God destroyed animals He already knew that with Him is a better place for anyone to be even an animal. Do you eat meat by the way? Just wondering. Enough said for now.

The question is, does the creator of a beautiful picture have the right to destroy it long after it has been appreciated.

Please don't put me in the atheist basket, I'm far from atheism.
