how many people have died in the name of God?

Answer 1

In one word: countless.

But most died because of ignorant people thinking that their religion is or was better then those of others.

Answer 2

There's more to come!

Here is a future event that can be found in the Bible:
Revelation 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.


Who were they?

That is answered a little later:
Revelation 7:13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?"

14 I answered, "Sir, you know."

And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


All I am saying here is that it ain't over yet! There will be another persecution in the Great Tribulation. Christians will be in a minority and since Satan has the reigns on Earth for a very short time He will make sure they fear.

Answer 3

Which do you mean : people who died "for" God, or people who've been killed by believers in God, and then also, which god?..............EDIT : Re. ans. above - By the same logic, the essence of "Mankind" is guilty of all other murder since the beginning.......Now, there's a big number! On the one side we have a all-powerful creator working with his creation for a common good as yet unrealized, and on the other, we have human beings killing human beings with little or no provocation worthy of taking a life, whether it's "thought" to be religious or otherwise....

Answer 4

Read a book titled: "Foxe's book of Martyrs," by John Foxe

rhsaunde… (9 below me) The "cat-aholic" church has killed far, far most than just 250,000 people since it has come of age. Between 1933-1945, catholic Germany, serving the vatican, killed over 6 million Jews. Hitler job was to eforce the "Council of Trent". Hitler had a lot of non-catholic churches destory during WWII. The"only" reason some catholics were taken away to be shot by the nazis, is because they weren't willing to enforce the "Council of Trent" themselves. In other words, some Catholics were acting like Christians, so they were shot as well.

As the old saying goes: "You must be white, non-Jewish and catholic." Or in the eyes of the vatican, you're just a dead man walking!

The only differents between mama and islam is: Islam doesn't care if you know who they have killed or not. Mama keeps it all hush, hush.
