Of course the actual figures for God must be expected to be much higher, since the source is known to be biased in His favour
Satan has not killed anyone though. Satan was the rebel who got tired of serving under a toxic boss. Hail Satan 😈!!
I recommend Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France. One of the greatest 'Romantic Satanist' pieces out there, and written by a communist no less!
What about the Great Flood? That must've killed hundreds of millions.
Literal reading of Bible puts Great Flood at 2348 BCE, total population of Earth at this time is roughly estimated to be between 20 to 40 million.
I don’t really know the Bible but maybe it was in that angel civil war?
I love the way you refer to the war for heaven lol. "That angel civil war".
I legitimately didn’t know it’s name. Not a Christian so I’m not really aware of the terms
Nah it's ok. I was raised Southern Baptist so I was taught some really fucked up shit.
For instance, the story of Ham. Ham was Noah's only dark-skinned child. He beheld his father Noah naked, thusly condemning black folk to an eternity of divine punishment and slavery.
I am not joking.
Otherwise, a lot of the popular ideas surrounding heaven and hell are noncanonical anyway. The devil (or "the adversary") is not described as having horns or cloven feet, there are no "circles of hell" (that comes from Dante), etc. etc. I prefer a more epic story for sure, and were I a Christian I'd probably be more attracted to Christian mysticism and integration of non-canon scripture into my beliefs anyway, like the Book of Judas.
The war in heaven is most incredibly described, as I've recommended elsewhere in this thread, in Anatole France's Revolt of the Angels. Lucifer is shown not to be a villain, but a revolutionary who kicks it with Russian anarchists and nihilists. He wants to introduce science to heaven, as he had introduced humans to science millennium prior.
In a bet with god over if Job is only following god because his life is great. Satan asks for god's permission, then kills Job's family.
Retirement going great, just chilling out, taking vacations, having fun with the grandkids...
