it's easier

If you're all powerful, no it's not.

    God can be all powerful and lazy at the same time. I know I would be lazy if I were a god.

    There is no such thing as lazy when you are infinite. That's not how infinites work. All things are equally difficult and are as difficult as nothing.

    That's not true. There are literally infinities that are infinitely bigger than other infinities. Mathematically. Some of these actually show up in how physics equations ended up being constructed. It's actually quite fascinating.

    Though the God of the Bible as Christians believe is... definitely an incongruent mess.

    Do gods, or the god need moral justification? That's not demonstrated much in the Bible afaik.

    Bad argument. If God is omnipotent, then "easier" isn't a concept, it has no bearing on his actions whatsoever. If he is who he says he is, then he can and will do whatever is best in light of eternity. In the case of the flood (and the entire old testament really), it's all foreshadowing to Christ.
