I don't know the specifics, since I didn't start this post. However, I do know that God killed many people in a flood, and he killed barbarians who worshipped a specific golden cow, and he had some people cut into small pieces... But since they were sinners, I guess those 2,000,000 don't count.
EDIT: I just remembered, he killed many 'Moslems' as well. And some 'whores' (slaves) were sliced into small pieces and mailed to "all the corners of the land". And don't forget Sodom and Gomorrah. But they were all sinners... So clearly they don't count?
DoubleEDIT: Huh, I guess sex before marriage is still a sin even if it's rape. I guess all the rape victims are going to Hell too...

Quote:Who were the 2million people God killed and may i know why. Also who did the Devil kill and why?
Well,an imaginary person can't actually kill anyone,
However,if you take the Torah seriously,rather than simply the mythology of a small,illiterate tribe of bronze age goat herders, 2 million is probably a gross underestimation..
WHY? Because he was a nasty,petty ,petulant,vindictive,jealous, cruel,sadistic cunt. Not at all a nice entity to worship; so picky and so easily upset

** Pretending both fictional characters were once real **
Who really knows what Satan was like. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy. Maybe he didn't do shit and just got a bad wrap from the almighty jealous asshole triplet-man. I mean realistically, the one thing you could at least count on is that you knew what you were gettin with old Beelzebub.
Shit, you choose the other guy for your hero and you might be killing off your own family the next damn day.
Oh yeah, Satan - hands down! Plus, Lucifer wasn't omni-present, so even if old Lou was a dick to hang out with, there's pretty good odds you'd never even have to deal with the fuckin guy.

Which doesn't even really count for Satan because those kills were sanctioned by God.

The figure does not include the number killed in the flood, which was between 15-30 million during the 3rd Millennium BCE when the flood according to the bible took place.

Indeed. I love a little rebellion now and then: It's good for you!

God or Satan. Who is the better role model?
Neither.
Whether its 10 people or 10 million people I don't seek to emulate the behaviour of murderers.

Well given the body count in the Bible attributed to what's wrongly perceived as an omni-benevolent god , Satan is the better role model. He's killed what? A grand total of nearly 10 people, if that?
Whereas mass murdering creator tallies untold millions.
I like this quote from the Al Pacino movie, "Devils Advocate"  Keanu Reeves) Kevin Lomax: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven", is that it?
)Al Pacino) John Milton (aka/Satan) : Why not? I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began. I've nurtured every sensation man's been inspired to have. I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him. Why? Because I never rejected him. In spite of all his imperfections, I'm a fan of man! I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
