We don't know if god is angry and he probably isn't. It's called the wrath of God because it negatively impacts us but really its just consequences of our actions. Like a parent punishing his children when they were naughty.

I'm not religious either but I did go to catholic school.

Interesting take Coffee, thank you, I hadn't thought of this angle. In the Noah's Ark story, god doesn't seem 'angry', he is actually kind of detached about how he does this. Kind of like he's just cleaning up an experiment that went wrong or something. But other times, God is definitely at least portrayed as angry. I think in particular of the story of Moses in the desert, when the people start worshipping the Golden Calf.

The LORD is angry (32:7-10). They have broken fealty with him, and he is ready to rain judgment upon them. Moses, however, intercedes, and God relents from his wrath (32:11-14).

This particular subject just makes me curious about what the message is

I think there the message is not that god is angry, again we dont know for sure. But we know Moses talked to him to ask him to give his people a second chance and god gave him those tablets with his words. God is mercyful and kind.

Is god an emotional child playing with an antfarm or a higher being curious about our actions like he's watching tv. All we know is on occasion he likes to mess with us.

Indeed! Awfully hard to decipher the motivations and mental state of an all powerful God.
