How many has god killed?

[Astrogod07]

Now this is the most misunderstood notion in the whole of Christian Theology.

God created a world, a wild and free world, to be the breeding ground for things God values in human beings — things like courage, devotion, loyalty, self-sacrifice, kindness, generosity, hope, trust. By anybody’s reckoning these are a few of the noblest features of humanity. Would such qualities exist in a world without risk, danger, calamity — and death?

Remember, God suffers with us. "God loved the world so much that he gave his Son that whoever believes in him would have new life. God sent his Son to save the world, not to condemn it".

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I think you are missing the point. We are interested in how many that god has personally killed, directly by his own actions. This includes Noah's Flood, any time the earth opened up and swallowed people, killing Job's family, Sodom, sending bears to maul the kids that made fun of Elisha's baldness. I'd even thrown in all the times that God commands the israelites to slaughter a group of people. We hold Hitler accountable for the genocides he ordered, so we also hold God accountable for the genocides that he commanded, as well as the ones that he directly handled himself. But even if we just counted Noah's flood, then the death toll is in the tens of millions.

But the number of people killed by Satan ... around a dozen, Job's family (with God's permission, but it's OK because God gave Job a new family).

If you believe that natural disasters are god's punishment for wickedness, then we can throw all of those in too, which probably drives God's body count into the hundreds of millions.
