If the Bible is to be believed, God killed innocent children and unborn babies because other people were wicked. Didn't those children have a right to live?

The flood myth was written by men to make people fear God. They needed a scare tactic to control them with. That's all it is. No true God would do that to his children.

The flood theory makes sense if you believe in the Hindu philosophy of birth and rebirth. You pay for your sins in this life or the next, and until your good and bad deeds cancel each other out, there is no salvation for you. Salvation is possible only if the slate is clean and the last thought during the last breath that you take is that of Krishna or Ram or any of Narayan's avatars.
If the good deeds are more, you enjoy a period in heaven, then come back to earth in some other from. if your bad deeds are more, you suffer a period in hell and then are reborn, until the slate is clean, you will not have salvation.
Life's Lovely! Love & Live Life!

If you are talking about when he flooded the world and Noah built the ark, he did flood the Earth because of wickedness. Adn yeah maybe the children did have a right to live but God did not kill everyone. You are here arent you?

Because this life is not the only life that we shall see. Maybe there is better to come.
