[defending a literal interpretation of the Flood, inspite of the obvious cruelty implied... really, how did a literal flood kill them then?]
Show me where it says they drowned. The Bible speaks of Daniel thrown in the lion's den and everyone assumed he would be killed by the lions. You are jumping to the very same kind of conclusion by speaking to what the Bible is actually silent on.

He's trying to say that they didn't drown?!? What the heck does he think happened -- that they were made of sugar and just dissolved?
Well, normally it's hard to quote the bible at these people, but...
Rysith, the word "drowned" doesn't appear to have been used, so MethodMan apparently wants to conclude that they died by some comparatively humane method, rather than by drowning. How in the heck he expects anyone to buy that (or even how in the heck he ever bought the idea himself) is anyone's guess, but he evidently cannot abide the idea of God committing such an atrocity, and he cannot abide the idea that it didn't happen either, so this is his mind's attempt at coping with the dilemma.
Read Deuteronomy 28:15-68 for all the horrible things the Lord will do to you if you don't fulfill his commandments.So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
<<< Show me where it says they drowned. >>>
That's right, god covered the earth with water and all of the giant half-angels turned into a race of Aqua-men and began the city of Atlantis.
Julian, I've seen the basic e-mail-forwarded "warning" about dihydrogen monoxide before, but I had no idea that someone had gone to this much trouble about it. That is hilarious! Thanks for the link!
It's a bird!, No, it's a plane! No wait, it's the point of that stupid story flying way over your head!
“Show me where it says they drowned. The Bible speaks of Daniel thrown in the lion's den and everyone assumed he would be killed by the lions. You are jumping to the very same kind of conclusion by speaking to what the Bible is actually silent on.”
Well, for the first option, in Genesis 6:7, The Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
For the second one, if God had the power to point his puissant finger at every single living human being, including adults, children, toddlers, babies, fetuses, blastocysts, and give each one an individual and instant death, what in the name of fuck was the purpose of the Flood?
Confused?
