Debunking
the Arguments of Christian Fundamentalists and Apologists
Quiz: The Death Toll List
- God vs. Satan
According to Christian
tradition, God is all good, while Satan is all evil. Therefore, you would
think that their actions in the Bible reflect this as well. However, take
a look at this death toll tally sheet below, taken off an interesting website
which tallies up the murders and atrocities by God vs. Satan. The results
are shocking and seem totally contradictory to the traditional
stereotype! (The murders where the number killed is mentioned in the
Bible are listed by count, and the murders where the number killed is not given
are listed with a "?" question mark.)
You can show this list to
Christians and ask them to take the quiz below it. But so far, none of
them have been willing to answer the quiz questions! When you see the
quiz, you’ll know why!

time!
Q1) Who has killed
more people overall, God or Satan?
Q2) Which is the
bigger sinner, the average human being who's never killed
anyone, or the God of the Bible who's killed at least 2.5 million people?
Q3) Who has committed more crimes, YOU or the
God of the Bible, who's killed millions of people according to the Bible?
If your answer is you, then explain what crimes you’ve committed that’s worse
than killing millions of people.
Q4) Who is the bigger sinner, YOU or the God of
the Bible? If your answer is you, then explain what you've done that's
worse than killing millions of people.
So far, no Christian has been
willing to take this quiz!
Biblical Atrocities Links
Here are links to extensive lists of things in the Bible that most of you never
knew existed, since the church is only willing to quote a small percentage of
the Bible to you. And that’s because if they quoted the rest, they know
they wouldn't be able to keep you any longer.
Bible
Atrocities This is a long list of horrendous atrocities, sanctioned
and approved by God, which make the atrocities in Spielberg's "Schindler's
List" look like Walt Disney.
BIBLICAL
VULGARITIES & OBSCENITIES These, well I hope you have the stomach
for these.
The
XXX-rated Bible An easy to navigate list of
unsavory Bible quotations.

atrocities as well as many links to many fine articles.

dramatic compact site which also links several fascinating articles and sites.
About
the Holy Bible Oh and last but not least, here is Mr. Robert Ingersoll's one of many essays where he mentions Biblical
