1). The entire world was livng in the state of complete contradiction toward God. God sent his prophets to warn the people, but they were either killed or fell to evil. No one but a humble family of 8ish were faithful. So what did God do? He flooded the world. But if you ever read the real story, God promised that he would never do it again. The cities of Sodom (Sodomy) and Gomorrah. Two cities ruled by wickedness. Even in Genesis and Ezekial of the Catholic bible do they state "A catastrophe sent from God."
If you want a whole picture, read the WHOLE bible. I was just saying that a bible is not a book easily read from page one to page x100... It's better read in parts and meditated apon. However I was suggestion the proverbs because it tells you the kind of God God is when your a sad, have been wronged, happy, and doubtful. The psalms tells how God will forgive you when you have done evil and seek redemption. Punish those who wrong his faithful people. Rejoices with you when your a re happy. And reassures you when you are doubtfull.
