And the devil hardly kills anyone? Just asking.

Pretty silly, isn't it?
More fatal flaw proof that it's NOT inspired by a god. But written by bronze-age sheep herders who wanted to control people.
We're supposed to believe that an all-knowing, all-loving god, WHO KNEW THE FUTURE AND PAST, got surprised and upset at how things turned out, so he mass-murdered all his children with a flood. Interesting idea -- except for the fact that god knows the future and how things turn out, so how did it surprise and anger him? COMPLETE PARADOX, and a fatal flaw in the bible.
It's all rather ridiculous.

Actually name 1 person the devil kills!!! Sure, he gave Job a pretty hard time, but The Devil is more compassionate in the bible than God is!!! Lets look at the facts...
Lucifer helped give knowledge to Adam and Eve. God got upset at this... What kind of God gets mad for a child that learns!!! So God is a murderer that says "thou shall not kill" and the Devil is a guy that teachers... Who is better, the teacher or the murderer?
Let's look at the methods God uses to kill. His preferred methods are drowning and disease. Drowning is a most traumatic way to expire. First you tire yourself out trying to stay afloat. Then when you loose strength, you fall below the surface. Then in a reflex manner, your body tries to breath, but this time burning salt water enters your lungs and your pain is ended as you slowly pass out. Do I even need to go into the horrendousness of dying from a disease like the plague???
Again, Teacher, or Murderer... you decide which is better...

God only killed the body (physical) He haven't killed the soul or spirit of man. All those who have died before, their soul, is under His care. And when the judgement come, all who have died will rise again. Then only then God will decide who will live or dies.
It is said that you should not be afraid of the one who kills the body, but be afraid of the one who kills both the body and the Soul.
Assuming killing the body is Bad which put God in the bad light.
In the Old testament paganism it so bad, that people is not just engaging is same sex, but having sex with the animals too. Imagine the sexual diseases (STD) that is so prevalent at that time, there is an epidemic already. That majority of these pagan cities must be annihilated to prevent infection. Isralites have an order to kill everyone. Maybe AIDS or similar deadly virus was already present at that time.
And one of the worst crime they ever commited is they sacrifice their own babies or children for religious ceremony.
Lastly, He alone decides who will live and who will die, He is in control of everything, that is why we should ask for His mercy.

Man kills man and the devil can't kill anyone without God allowing it. Interesting huh, that the devil doesn't hardly kill anyone?

When God was teaching his people (the Israelites) he wanted to make it clear that he was the only God for them to worship. Since a lot of religions in that time involved both good and evil deities, God took responsibility of everything so that the Israelites wouldn't start worshipping the devil to appease him from doing bad things. Check out the story of David's census. In Kings it says the Lord inspired him to do it, and in Chronicles it says the Devil, so who was it? The Devil, but God was taking the blame.

God didn’t kill anyone. Man has a free will, their actions are what killed them. Satan didn’t kill anyone either, he just gets you top believe his lies. Then laughs all the way to hell with those who’re going with him.
The best lie the Devil ever told was in convincing some he didn't even exist

It's his right. He can make alive and kill as he pleases. Just know he is good and does everything for a reason that we can't understand.
