People always bring up Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Nero, Cortez, Attila, and Genghis. But almost every war either is based on religion or both sides claim God to be on their side. So who is the greatest mass murderer.

In the garden of Eden, God had given us free will, the freedom to choose between good and evil. And yet man in every turn of the century from that first sin had committed violations of the ten commandments. There is the story of Cain and Abel, Sodom and Gomorrah's, Noah and his ark and the many plagues, catastrophe and upheavals and the only thought boggling idea left is why did He let it happen. Did He continue to create man just to destroy him? In all the quandary that's in your mind, wars are not all religious in nature but rather man's search for his own space , greed and envy. If you spent your time in researching you will reach the conclusion that it is Man who is destroying Man. It is the result of that freedom that God gave us when He created man in His own image and likeness. But man had forgotten that divinity in Him.
.......It is very easy for God to destroy the world as when He created it?... so can He be the greatest mass murderer in human history?
Oh you of little faith!

God giveths and takeths. People have complete control over the world. It is free will. Are you aware that murder is a sin in God's eyes? He doesn't encourage it. Man is just foolish. I don't think any person the murders in the name of God is a true believer, they are just insane.

I think I'm going to kill a bunch of people and claim you are on my side now it's your fault.
God is usually just used as a proxy for cultural differences or racism and as a pretext for self interest and ego of leaders.

Something that doesn't exist cannot be a murderer. The concept of "God" is just an excuse for leaders to justify their blood-lust.

Despots of all sorts.
Catholic church: Do you know how many women were burnt alive at stake branded as witches, how many people were massacred as heretics? They just used the name of God to achieve their means. As long as there are gullible people, god will be vilified.

I'm assuming you know that men are given the gift of free will. therefore, God is not to be blamed for the mistakes done by men.

You have a valid point but God himself isn't doing the killing it's still the people who are silly enough to think that there god wants them to kill people.
