Anyone who has read the bible has to be aware of the number of people God either killed outright (the Flood and the Ten Plagues of Egypt come to mind) or whose deaths have been sanctioned by God (all the capital crimes listed in Leviticus, for example).
But when I read the bible, I can't find a -single- example of -anyone- being killed by Satan.
On the one hand, we have God drowing every single baby on the planet, and all life not on board the ark during the Flood, and on the other hand, we have Satan who hasn't killed anyone.
When asked why people die, we are told "it is God's will". When asked why people are sick or born with birth defects, we are told "it is God's will".
Just look at the book of Job: God getting his holy jollies by plaguing Job just to show Satan how loyal Job is to God. Job is treated as nothing more than an amusing pet whom God can torture willy-nilly just to prove a point to Satan.
So who is the true Enemy of Humanity?
