I read a link once that had counted every murder by god and satan in the bible. The final count was smething close to God- 1 000 000 and Satan-10. Speaks for itself I guess.

In that context you mean Satan as "God's Antipart" (the name "Satan" was of course added later by the Christians while destroying pagan religions), they are quite even, because in the bible (Book of Job), God and Satan talk as two equal beings (if God were superior, the conversation would look different).
This is, of course, a ripoff of the Chinese Yin-Yang-concept, but Christians mostly claim that God has more believers than Satan and so manages to be enough stronger to dominate Satan.
I don't have proof in quotes or anything, but i think this point goes to God; I cant think of a big deadly event caused by the Devil, while God already at the beginning of the Bible drowns the whole earth while theres a lot more deaths by his hand to come.

If you believe in the tales surrounding God & Satan then it has to be God. Wasn't he supposed to of sent a flood that wiped out mankind only leaving two of every animal saved by Noah and his family? Also, how many times have you heard that God is a vengeval God? He was also supposed to of sent an Angel of Death to kill every first born of Egypt. That mounted to quite a few. How many did he kill when he was supposed to of parted the Red sea to ley Moses and his people through?
When ever there is a Tsunami, Hurrican, Tornado, Flood, Mudslide that kills thousands it always classed as an act of God. You don't ever hear that it's an act of Satan.

I don't believe in either...but from what I understand, people kill in the name of both in equal amounts....people that kill in the name of Satan usually have a lot more fun doing it though! Again I cant say with is the good guy....these days people seem to be killing more in the name of God, so I guess he must be a bad guy....

Mankind has a naturally limited lifespan. God, as the one responsible for that, has killed uncountably many, and probably wins even if Satan can be said to be responsible for murder.

Neither has killed anyone - man kills man. It doesn't matter who's name they claim to do it in, because each man has a brain and a conscience and is answerable to himself. I abhor those who kill in the name of religion. Likewise, some would say that killers have Satan in their hearts when they carry out their evil deeds; all I can say is they don't put up much of a struggle, or they're insane at the time! I don't, however, include killing whilst defending oneself in this generalisation, ie., when one is under attack, whether during war or a personal attack. It's the perpetrators of attack that commit the evil deed.

People on here said man kills man and God nor satan has anything to do with it. That's where their wrong, satan has everything to do with it, it's called sin, and sin comes from satan. Satan has caused more people to kill and without a doubt, satan is EVIL.

I don't beleive that neither God nor Satan have killed anyone (or exist for that matter).
If you beleive those with faith in God, then I guess he's the main culprit - to those who beleive it is God that takes you when He thinks you're ready. I don't think Satan ever calls anyone in this way.

Belief in god kills people. The whole history of it is riddled with the evil of god belief. The present too. If i created a being which caused havoc, i would be the one liable to pay for the crime, not the being i created.
