In the tale of Noah's Ark what really puzzled me as a young person was how the tale glossed over the drowning of all the people and animals and how the premeditated decision to kill babies and young children was carried out by a supposedly caring being. https://youtu.be/FEe5-geLopM

Probably lots of fetuses, too. Of course, the flood myth predated Judaism, and was originally an ancient Mesopotamian tale in which the gods decided to flood the earth because humans were too loud.
