If god is omnipotent he could just snip his fingers and will satan out of existence.
Something like the great flood is also a horrible evil when, god being omnipotent, he could just snip his fingers and make people not sinners.
If he’s not actually omnipotent, sure, then a lot of things change, though overall I wouldn’t describe old testament god in particular as kind anyway. Also people seem to really insist on the omnipotence.

He will.

The flood was God punishing and destroying evil. People had free will

The Old Testament God is the same as the one of the New Testament.
Let’s see. Don’t eat from a tree (without explanation). They eat, and then he decides, “you know what, y’all get to suffer forever. Women, childbirth is going to be painful and deadly.” All because he gave them free will and then told them not to use it.
Made up bullshit anyway.
Edit:
Knowledge is bad how?
“Hey guys, I have this tree of learning things, you’ll learn things if you eat from the tree of learning things, don’t use your free will that I gave you to learn things. If you do, you’ll be punished in life and death. So will your children and all of humanity.”
“Het guys, that God guy is an ass and wants to keep you ignorant and submissive. You know, since an educated person is a dangerous person, learn stuff. Knowledge is power, spread the power.”
Satan was the good guy. God is guilty of entrapment.
It’s all made up bullshit as a means for the powerful to keep people ignorant and subjugated (like how slavers kept slaves uneducated).
Embrace your curiosity, learn things, rise up, overcome your oppressors.
The guy responsible for every evil act on earth? Definitely not.

God did that.

I mean, there’s a good lesson in that lol. Old men with power don’t want ya to have free will xD
No, nobody was going to eat from the tree until Satan came along.
