They needed killin'.

How can you possibly count the number of people the devil killed??

because the numbers are given in concrete in the book.

however, he killed them as part of a bet with God. God's hands weren't clean.

also, the number for God are only the deaths where concrete numbers were given. it doesn't include the flood or S&G. you can estimate up to 33,000,000 if you include those.

The Bible isn't about Satan so of course not everyone that was "killed by Satan" is going to be in there.

BTW, I don't believe God or Satan kills anyone, I'm just pointing out that the Bible isn't going to include everything that ever happened and is going to have a lot more in it about God than about Satan because God is the focus.

Maybe that is why so many people are so stupid now. Makes sense to me.

Technically, if there is a preconceived notion that they are all knowing creatures/beings/whatever, hasn't God & Satan both killed everyone who has died?

yes. if a truly omnipotent and omniscient being exists, nothing can happen unless that being wills it to happen. it has full knowledge of everything that will ever happen. the very existence of evil must be willed by that being. therefor, the being itself must be evil.

or the being is beyond the need for moral judgement.

good and evil are inventions of man.

the entire concept of heaven and hell is this being imposing moral judgment, and sending us to the 'bad' place if it judges us morally evil.

[PanthersFanNY]

If people weren't afraid of God they'd be raping, pillaging, and skull-fuging the dead.

So they wrote that God killed people, and induced a fear that has lasted centuries.

no it isn't. it's about belief and worship, if it were about morals you wouldn't be posting body counts.


And I'm not going to argue biblical inconsistencies with you. I'm not talking about god as a literal manifestation of the bible. I'm talking about a god that might actually exist. What use would a god have with differentiating good and evil?

[Kevin Greene]

If people weren't afraid of jail time they'd be raping, pillaging, and skull-fuging the dead.

Fixed it.
