I submitted your comment to ChatGPT without asking it to be concise and here's what I got back. It's long-winded, but still very positive and thoughtful.

Yes, very similar to mine (I only posted the conclusion) and actually objective and quite concise relative to issue, and a refreshing change from the response of atheists.

Which was what my argumentation flowed from, the of the "argument from, outrage" of antitheists charging God with murder for the flood, etc. And in typical simplistic superficial reading of the Bible, failing to see that conversion is not simply about having the right knowledge and an assent of faith in the right God, but that believing signifies more than that, that of a "good and honest heart," who via conscience is honest with themself as "truth in the inward parts" (Psalms 51:6) means, and thus humble and contrite, (Ps. 34:18) thereby to effectually "hear" the word (Luke 8:15) and bring forth fruit corespondent to faith in the risen Lord Jesus. (Acts 26:20)

In which certain principles are involved. One being that a soul must - at one critical point at least - obey divine Truth that he has, "While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light," (John 12:36) even if the level which one has innately, (Rom. 2:14,15) and which will result in more light.

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. (Matthew 13:11-12)

To which applies:

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:17-21)

Thanks and glory be to God in Christ
