How many has God killed? (complete list and estimated total)
I kill ... I wound ... I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh. --
Deuteronomy 32:39-42 In a previous post, I've listed and counted God's killings in the Bible. But I only included those that said exactly how many were killed by God. I came up with 2,301,417. But that didn't include some of God's most impressive slaughters. How many did God drown in the flood or burn to death in Sodom and Gomorrah? How many first-born Egyptians did he kill? The Bible doesn't say, so there's no way to know for sure. But it's possible to provide rough estimates in order to get a grand total, and that's what I'm attempting here. (New total: 34 million.)
