God flooded the world and killed everyone but like five people.  If that's not an expression of hate, I'm not sure what would qualify.


Or you could look at it as God seeing that the Earth was irreparably sinful and he wanted to give the beings that he created and loved so much another chance. I don't think that the great flood was an act of hatred, moreso disappointment...


There were babies on the Earth at the time.  Right?  I mean, I know it's not real or anything, but we have to assume that babies exist in the fictional world.  There were also lots of animals.  Noah took two of each, which meant the others had to die.  Not only did the animals and babies have to die, but they had to do so in an incredibly agonizing way.  Couldn't he have just had them all die in their sleep?  Or, you know, not kill them at all.  

You said that god hates sin, yes?  So there were people who were sinful and he drowned them all.  I'd say that would be an act that expressed his hatred.
