Countless. From causing wars, to killing the ENTIRE planet in a flood.

A lot, but we can't hold that against 90% of modern Christians. All religions have done both wonderful and cruel things. Remember that these genocides were not committed by god, but by fools who thought they were following god while actually listening to corrupt leaders. If you are an American (like I am), you really can't judge those fools whose societies did horrible things in the name of god as interpreted by corrupt leaders, if ya get my drift, Mr. Kettle.

So many it's almost impossible to count...But not as many as the folks killed in both world wars...Not even close.
But don't get me wrong...The evil that's been carried out in God's name would make anyone stop going to church.
I read my Bible, but I'll probably never go to church again...I find the people that represent God are completely nuts.
But if I were the Devil that's exactly the way I would keep things...Makes sense, huh?

God doesn't kill anybody, due to greed and envy mankind brings about all these miseries upon oneself, however if God took ones life, He has the right to do so, He gave to us in the first place. How can we be so foolish to accept life from Him but reject having taken it away from the same source that gave it to us? It requires a little intelligence to understand this.

MANY, MANY!! AND I am a true believer in God and Jesus Christ. However, I know what I read in the old testament and God plainly tells the Jews to TOTALLY KILL certain peoples, including women, children , cattle, and pets.
BUT, this is where FAITH has to step in and you just have to believe that God has a plan. You must try your best to study and be affirmed in the belief of the Lord Jesus Christ. God said that if you draw near to him, then he would draw near to you. In the book of Revelations, it mentions the "mystery of God being accomplished". At one point , the angel even tells John, the writer of Revelations, NOT TO WRITE down certain things and that they would only be REVEALED in the end times. I PROMISE YOU THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND UNTIL JUDGMENT DAY.

genocide is a term created by man to judge man. God is not subject to the laws of man. God created us and it is only by his will that we live today. He did wipe the earth of his creation and then rebuild it - only to finally choose one man to be his nation. that is abraham. God gave them a choice to follow him or perish. He gives us that choice today. It is of our own free will that we choose our path. They chose to turn against God. So the answers is none.

Sodom and Gomorrah, the Egyptian first born. The Hebrew tribes in the desert that he had the earth swallow. The people of Jericho. All of the people living in the promised land. I quit counting except of course for the biggy, The Flood.
Of course you realize these stories are all pure hogwash from the greatest story tellers of all time.
