If Herod was evil for killing all males under two years old after Jesus was born, does that make God evil for killing all of Egypt's first-born and torturing the public with ten plagues even though those people had nothing to do with Pharaoh's laws?
====================
Gee, is this the same god who killed everyone on the entire planet apart from one family, then killed the first born children of an entire civilization, then commanded his chosen people to kill all men, women and children of several communities? The same god who passed laws that demanded the execution of disobedient children? The god who loves us so much that his finishing act was having his only son (who is also himself) brutally tortured and killed, until the time when that son returns and allows those who have lost faith to be brutally tortured and killed?
Of course, that's because God has never gone down the quick and painless route for disposing of those he didn't like. Why go for a quick "poof" when you can enjoy a bit of screaming, running about, begging for mercy (especially the pleading of parents for their innocent children) and general mayhem.
Deaths in the Bible.
God - 2,270,365 not including the victims of Noah’s flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers were given.
Satan - 10.
Never mind. On second thought, I answered my own question.
Let's see you squirm your way out of this one with Hebrew/Greek translations.
