Who did the devil kill in the bible?

[flobadob]

Apparently in the bible god killed an abundance of people and the devil only killed two or three. Obviously there's no way of getting through all of god's murders as there would be too many to mention here, but was a record kept of the devil's victims?

Well, seeing as God is given all the credit for the good things in the world, I think it's only fair that he shoulders the blame for all the bad things, too.

I hesitate to blame anything on something that doesn't exist. But just in case . . . "God, save us from you're believers!"

true mibn2cweus,

"...your believers!"

Erm, I think Naomi had the right idea . . . :o/

Argostran offers a lovely get out of jail card for god - All the evils done in gods name - its not gods fault, it woz them pesky fallible yumans wot did it. We have to recognise, argorstran says, the distinction between divine authority and fault-ridden human religion. Isn't that lovely? Glad thats all cleared up!.... except, if god is so omnipotent, and omniscient, and worthy of praise as every religion would have us believe - why doesn't god intervene? Why doesn't he take these bloodthirsty evangelists to one side and show them the error of their ways?

Its not as if such atrocities in the name of god are new either - so why doesn't god learn from history?

I shall say one thing in Naomi's defence; despite our profound differences at least she does not stoop so low as to report a post with which she disagrees with a view to its deletion, unlike a certain little dicky bird I could mention!

Do you realise that without the atheists there would not be such a healthy "Religion and Spirituality" topic in Answerbank, or indeed anywhere else. Who else would put up such strong arguments.

I see, so God is now bi-polar?

Actually he is tri-polar, being Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Come on Christians,never look a gift persecution in the mouth
'For as Jesus suffered upon the cross for the sins of man-kind,
so you that suffer for thy faith come closer to the lord thy god'
Ap.v.xii c.vi.

birdie my point exactly, is the op wanted to know where a record was kept of the "victims", I suggested that reading the book would answer the question posed, the rest as they say is waffle.
On that note Im off to bed, can only take sooo much fun, goodnight.

I watched a very interesting documentary last night called Zeitgeist which discusses Christianity among other topics. It made reference to the fact that the story of Jesus can be found in other forms throughout history. Also it said that when Jesus came to prominence it was coming into the age of pisces and leaving the age of taurus and that's why there are references to fishermen being the disciples and why the devil us depicted with horns. It was really interesting.

Never apologise, never explain. Despite the aforesaid I will say "Sorry" to anyone whose feathers may have been ever so slightly ruffled by aught which I may have posted earlier.
