I agree with you in fact the plague thing is made worse when you realize God flat out admits that the Pharaoh couldn't be moved because God had purposely hardened the dudes heart just to make sure he wouldn't listen to Moses.

The Flood is basically said from what I remember to happen because the world didn't worship him and were more focused on the material world then the afterlife. Because Noah still worshiped God often he was "better" so he was given the task. Yeah plenty of innocents died including animals and children due to God not liking the way things turned out despite being supposedly omnipotent and omniscient.

Honestly the Satan and Hell thing always confused me myself. For a supposedly merciful and all loving deity he sure has a temper and vengeful strike. Doesn't help Satan is sometimes actually just given the role to test mans faith and gets blamed for any evil. I can't ever take the God is "Pure of Heart" seriously given all the vile acts. I mean look at the Book of Job where even if people try to claim it's the Devils fault, God gives permission to do horrible, horrible shit to a apparently good man just to essentially win a bet with Satan ruins said mans life and then says "Here have your property and then some, I'll throw in new kids but the ones you lost won't be revived." The bible like history was written by man and the winners not by God himself.

Here's a few good comedy videos that actually talk about some of these problems: Book of Job and Plagues. Granted it added extra parts for well said comedy the thing keeps the basics.
