Who has killed the most people ever?

Question

The evidence says God, at around 1,347,040 people which he killed in the bible. Of course this doesn't include outside the bible.

Here's an article with a chart that lists all the people that god killed:

Of course, I should mention that saying "god killed" is metaphorically speaking since this god doesn't actually exist and the bible itself is a mythical book.

"soulsista" uhg! Your a disgrace to my skin tone! You display the ignorance that ecourages the use of the n word. There is no bashing, go read your bible and you'll see this for yourself.

"Samuel J", I'm not blaming god for killing! These are just the killing that god ADMITTED TO AND TOOK PRIDE IN in the stories of the bible! Why are so many supporters of the bible so ignorant to what is in it?

Answer 1

Through their 'witch hunting' and the Spanish Inquisition, the inventors of the Bible have murdered the largest number of 'pagans' [anybody who dared contradict, or question them !].
...The recorded and acknowledged number of their victims exceeds 10 millions - and their 'God' alone knows how many more unrecorded murders they committed !

Answer 2

There is a new count of 2,038,334 by Steve Wells http://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com/2006/08/how-many-has-god-killed.html
This greatly underestimates God's total death toll, since it only includes those killings for which specific numbers are given. No attempt was made to include the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc., with which the good book is filled.

In contrast, Satan has been linked to 10 deaths

Answer 3

Since most of the Bible is legend and myth, many of those claimed to have been killed are probably inflated (they were actually bragging about all these deaths in the OT!).

I would be interested in knowing how many have been killed over the last 2000 years in wars, inquisitions, witch trials, etc that resulted from religious disputes.

As far as known estimates go, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Hitler are at the top of the list as I recall.

Answer 4

Galatians 6:7, 8, "Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whaterver a man is sowing, this he will also reap: because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing with a view to the spirit will reap everlasting life from the spirit." I find it interesting that you have done a lot of research to prove your point. (I still don't know what that is) Just from going back thru the questions you have asked, I noticed that you have a link for every one of them. Most of them are quite silly like the one you have posted here. Why would you say "The evidence says God...killed in the bible.", yet you say at the end of your "question?" that "god doesn't actually exist and the bible itself is a mythical book." If you truly believe that then why do you go thru so much trouble to prove what you don't believe?

Answer 5

I think it gets worse, the others here are saying world leaders but the world leaders all had help the god numbers are for gods private individual score, all by his own little old self. you can start adding in the scores for the Popes, the Crusaders, the Nazis, the
Protestants and Catholics of Ireland and every other killer who could claim to be doing God's work. the list gets much to large count, and it happens fast.

Answer 6

LOL. Interesting point. Take a look however at the arab invasions at the turn of the first milennium. Its impossible to get an exact number but historians have esitmated that Muslims wiped out hundreds of millions of hindus within just a few hundred years.

Answer 7

And that's just in the Bible. If God is so all-powerful then he's let billions of people die throughout history when he could have done something about it. What would happen if a doctor didn't perform an appendectomy on someone and let them die? I guarantee that doctor wouldn't be considered moral.

Answer 8

Rom 9:20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?"
Rom 9:21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honored use and another for dishonorable use?
Rom 9:22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

I hope you come to grips with reality soon my good friend. Blaming God for killing is like the bread you baked blaming you for eating it.

Answer 9

If that last part is what you believe then you should have never made that claim from the begining. Oh and by the way, if God didn't kill these people, what did?

Answer 10

Over all the religious leaders, they had over 5000 years to do it.
