Debunking Christian Circular Arguments and Assumptions





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!

Now, show that death toll list above to any Christian and ask them the following questions to shock them big 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.
