What if you consider a person's ethnicity based on their beliefs (Hitler ethnicly cleansed the Jews for example and that is considered genocide). How was God different in that sense. He simply killed everyone but those who had the right beliefs.
Yeah but they didn't know disobeying a direct order was wrong. You can tell the baby to do something (assuming it magically understands English yet retains its inability to determine right from wrong) the baby should not be punished for still doing the thing you told it not to do. It didn't know it was wrong to disobey so it isn't wrong in doing exactly that. We only know that disobeying is wrong because we understand what wrong is.
Edit: I can't take credit for the question since I read it on another forum, but it is intriguing none the less.
