Is the god of the bible a moral being? [Spirituality & Religion]

Syllogism time:

Killing a baby is always immoral no matter who does it or for what reason.
God killed many, many babies in the flood.
Therefore god is immoral.

Thoughts?

I find the god in the Bible to be equivalent to a temper tantrum throwing toddler not worthy of recognition

That's because you don't know Him.
@GodSpeed63 I see children with painful bone cancer, I see families displaced by tornados. I know him. You’re just in denial.

What you see is man's doing, not His. Man brought these awful things on himself at his fall. If mankind hadn't fallen, you and I wouldn't be having conversation right now.
@GodSpeed63 ah... yeah I too
Like to blame people for other people’s wrong doings. That sounds mature. Very god like huh
@TheMidwesternWayToValhalla You want less tornados then maybe fix climate change. Don't blame God for humanity fucking shit up lol
@Qwerty14 god made humans. God made everything humans use to create global warming. Tornados existed before the drastic climate change. Nice try though
@TheMidwesternWayToValhalla Do you blame the parent for the child's mistake? Nice try though
@Qwerty14 when that parent punishes it’s grand children, great grand children, great great grand children for the child’s mistake that’s a bit childish. Nice try though
@TheMidwesternWayToValhalla That parent doesn't punish anyone. The child made a mistake that has major consequences. The child should have thought about that beforehand
@Qwerty14 in the Christian, catholic, and Hebrew world we are suffering from the mistakes of Adam and Eve.
@TheMidwesternWayToValhalla Catholics are Christians. You don't need to separate them. And I think you mean Jewish, not Hebrew. Hebrew is a language.
There it is. The subject change. Better luck next time @Qwerty14
@TheMidwesternWayToValhalla Subject change? How so?

Who do you blame when the father tells the child not to put his hand in the fire but the child does it any and gets burned?
@GodSpeed63 why would the father punish that kids kids, and those kids kids, for the original child’s mistake

You didn't answer my question.
@GodSpeed63

A coward thinks he'll always live
If it keeps himself from strife
Old age leaves no rest and peace
though spears may spare his life

You still didn't answer my question. Are you afraid to answer it?
@GodSpeed63 I just did buddy. Apparently you can’t break things down. Common from the narrow minded. In your specific question know one is to blame.

The father lets the child know the dangers of the fire. However the child has learned first hand rather than take things from basic word value. From there the child will learn about the limits he or she has when it comes to fire.

Such as my quote you can’t just keep yourself from strife with out learning through blood sweat and tears.

That still doesn't answer my question on whose fault it is.

@Qwerty14 The majority of Catholics are not Christians, and, in fact, the Roman Catholic church is not Christian. Do your historical research.
@BiblicalWarrior What's your basis for this? Like Catholics consider themselves Christian and meet the definition of a Christian so how are they not Christian?

@Qwerty14 How much do you know about the history and makeup of the RC church?
@BiblicalWarrior I'm quite well versed on the history of Christianity. But I don't really think history plays a part in answering my questions.
BiblicalWarrior · 51-55, M
@Qwerty14 You are wrong, then. Have a look at this site, and then tell me that the RC church is in any way Christian.
