"G-d's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah actually stemmed from remorse. Same with the Flood, where Scripture specifically states that God regretted His creation of man, since man was being so profoundly evil. He recognized Creation as a bad thing, and destroyed these sinful cities in order to restore peace in the world."

Yeah, well, I'm doubtful that remorse was sincere, since he was omniscient and thus would have known long before Adam and Eve even ate from the tree of knowledge they would do this anyhow. If he had remorse, he wouldn't do it. Think X hesitating to pull the trigger even when his allies were caught in a human shield regarding remorse. And honestly, the Patriots did many similar things as well, yet it was made pretty obvious they lacked remorse in any way for their actions (you HAVE read that script I supplied you, right? It's the only way barring Youtube to get a good idea of what I'm trying to get at even if it is very long). Besides which, I can also point out Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy VI. He knew creation was pointless so he destroyed simply because there was little point to creation and life anyway, yet it was obvious he lacked remorse for his atrocities and if anything reveled in the suffering and death of others.

"Regarding Abraham's prayers, G-d allowed them to continue because Abraham's faith brougt some badly-needed goodness to Earth. And although He knew it was all in vain, He had to encourage Abraham's love and devotion, as he was one of the last people who believed in the goodness of Heaven."

It's still a lie, though, which means God did break the Ten Commandments (and yes, killing under any circumstance still qualifies as breaking one of the ten commandments, or do I need to remind you that Jesus never killed anyone, even the Roman Soldiers when they came to inevitably kill him? Had the commandments just forbade murder, Jesus and his father would have zero qualms with killing the soldiers out of self-defense and even revel in it).

"How you can go so far as to claim that G-d does not believe in His own commandments is beyond me. Man is created in His image. What would be the point of man if G-d was not the ideal we could strive for? He was only ever vengeful towards those who either sought to harm the good people or Himself (although that is not possible)."

If he believed in his own commandments, he'd basically be chained up and not even attempt to harm anyone at all, let alone commit mass murder or deceive his own people. He'd effectively be like X from Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X's Day of Sigma short. And he'd be effectively emotionless and apathetic, robotic in other words.

"Frollo is a unique villain in that he acknowledges G-d (unlike you) and His laws, and is aware that his transgressions are due to his own weakness."

I go to church, I try to observe the sacraments of the faith, I actually am fully aware and fully believe God exists, and I even am very certain that God exists as well. What makes you think that I don't acknowledge God at all? That would imply I don't even think that God exists at all, which, BTW, I DO think God exists, and in fact I'm very certain God exists as well. I just doubt God is truly all good, that's all (I view him as similar to the Patriots from MGS2, you know, remorseless megalomaniacal people who revel in using people.). And I'm not saying Satan's good, either. Satan definitely deserves to die completely for what he has done, and it's a shame that Jesus didn't return with Satan's decapitated head to prove he killed him when he rose up from the dead.
