According to the bible, God murdered 2,038,334 people. 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.

I dont think satan has any power with death unless God gives it to him.. God will bring justice, not the other way around. .

Check out the peoples He killed. Sodom and Gomorrah were incredibly immoral, no one other than Noah was righteous before the Flood, the plagues served to get the Hebrews out of Slavery. Satan kills the soul, not the body.

the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. satan can be linked to every murder of every innocent in history. given all the deaths, where do you get your only 10 deaths linked to satan? and, why don't you link the deaths of the flood, plagues, famine, sodom and gomorrah to the devil? are you one of his worshippers? if so, you are of this world. god has the right to cleanse the world, since he made it it. he made it for good, the devil means to make it evil. people like you make the devil's job easier, but people like you will also not be in the book of life. leave innocent people alone to find what they believe in. if satan is so strong, he dosn't need your help.

Dear Keyser, God's judgment to what humans do is on the contrary to His Mercy to human cruelty to one another and their disobedient to Gods will. As a result i think you got it all wrong. first of all, who made humanity? Is it not God. and could you remember that God regret ever making or creating man? why? because they do not obey the will of God and that is not all: they turn evil to themselves and live filthy and disgraceful life. Now, if you are honest to yourself you will know that God's kindness is even greater than His punishment to evil minded humans.
However, you are entitled to chose whoever you will: God or Satan? and i think you are very wrong at how much lives that Satan have consumed.
Take care Keyser and be free in mind with God.
PS: I hope you did not ask this question as a result of that movie title "the man that sue God"? if you did? remember that the man acknowledge that it's not Gods fault after all: even as he did God proved Himself Strong by visiting the court hearing as an immaculate White Dove and communicate with the Gorge and left. Thank you now and have a nice day.

It's interesting that the perspective of your question is reflected by quite a few people here on Y/A. Somehow people have this diminished view of the Creator of this Universe as if He was just "one of the guys" who was open to criticism, correction and in this case judicial review.
But to answer your question, in a very real sense God will appear in a court room setting and each individual will have an opportunity to present their case as to why they did or did not get a fair shake while here on God's planet.
Daniel and John the beloved where both given visions of this event.
Daniel 7:9 As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. 10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
You see, the Judge is not going to be on trial, we are. And even if you could make a case that God was totally unfair and level true charges against Him that made Hitler look like a Sunday school teacher in comparison, guess what?
We are just created beings and He is the Creator and what we have to think or say doesn't carry any weight. It's like if a plastic army man tried to bring a charge against an 8 year old boy who sprayed some lighter fluid on it and set it on fire. The boy owns the toy and he can do whatever he wants with it.
Romans 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?" 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? 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, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory--

Couldn't Satan be considered an accomplice in billions of deaths?
It was he who told the first lie, causing a chain reaction resulting in sin and death. Affecting billions.
Given the choice between the two I'll still choose God...

you need to examine up on gnosticism. The gnostics have faith the god of Abraham - Yahweh - is an evil god, not the actual, superb, large guy god and a few have faith that Jesus replaced into later despatched with the aid of the actual god to superb suited particularly some the themes brought about with the aid of Abraham's evil god. i think of it rather is all tosh yet a minimum of it may clarify why the previous testomony is all approximately genocide, soreness and punishment whilst the hot testomony is extra approximately getting alongside and being large to human beings.

What ever happened to justice? God is the ruler of all, He must punish so that we don't continue sinning. If you look at it from God's point of view, when is the government going to pay for all the money they took for speeding tickets and other crimes?

Well, we're kinda screwed, since, God is his own Judge and Jury. >_> I mean think about it.
Plus, imagine being God. You're dealing with many stupid people all the time, wouldn't you decide to smite some idiots? XD

Actually, according to those who believe in him, God is responsible for the murder of every single human being on this planet.
