Nzeribe Enzo Uzordimma on Facebook Wrote,

"I counted the number of people that were killed by God in the Bible. I came up with 2,476,633, which, of course, greatly underestimates God's total death toll, since it only includes those killings for which specific numbers are given. No attempt was made to include the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc., with which the good book is filled. Still, 2 million is a respectable number even for world class killers.
But how does this compare with Satan? How many did he kill in the Bible?
Well I can only find ten, and even these he shares with God, since God allowed him to do it as a part of a bet. I'm talking about the seven sons and three daughters of Job.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job ... And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
...
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the LORD ... put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
...
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house...And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. -- Job 1:1-19
So it seems that both Satan and God share the blame (or the credit) for these killings. If so, then the tally would be:
killings
God:2,476,633
Satan:10
No contest.

Your thoughts please?

The people who'd lose their jobs for a start, the other shareholders(he's not the majority shareholder in case you didn't know). Start with those....BTW which belief do you speak of?

adegunwa4real. I want to know if wild animals are terrorists, killers or murderers. Those terms are meant only for humans.

God created all things and He has the right to take what he created. People can cry about death, God sees it as a transition.

When God took my Grandfather, I was consoled by the fact that I know he's in heaven. God took him, not killed him.
Many of the people we are crying about are with God.

Humans are terrorists, killers, murderers etc, Non-humans are not. God is not human.

Plus mind where and whom you ask your questions, this section is a den of atheists in disguise. Be careful.

God gives, God takes. Never you forget that.

Bros, maybe you should know that Bill doesn't OWN Microsoft, they have shareholders bro, its no longer one man business

And FYI, there was NEVER a time Bill owned Microsoft, he didn't start the company alone, he started it with Paul Allen (Google him and be enlightened)

Everybody knows that but the analogy was if Bill is the ONLY person who owns Microsoft can he do whatever he will with it? Let's use Nairaland for instance, can anybody question Seun if he decided to shut down Narialand?

Your belief Atheism of course!

That is where the craziness starts.

Meaning that if am representing Satan, I can ask Bill Gate permission to destroy Microsoft and he will grant it.

Bill Gate is a sane scientist who did not derive pleasure in crashing down Microsoft all because he is the inventor or probably the owner. He is definitely not like your god (in intelligence, moral standard and in philanthropic activities) as he is concerned with building a better world by causing a great revolution in computing technology.

If you watch Microsoft yearly conference very well, you will see how they create values for what they create and not expecting those products to be worshipping them because to them, it seems not to be necessary.

Is your mobile phone worshipping you or you are the one that seems to be worshipping it by relentlessly making sure that it is fully charged and data capped. In fact, you will rather not eat than for your phone to be without data or having a flat battery.

Its high time you redefine the meaning of worship and stop antagonizing linguistical coined words (grammars) and etymologies.

When a person create something good, he is recognized but when he desired to be worshipped, he possess some hiding features of evil characters.

I laugh in loko cheesycheesycheesy

Just imaging, when Atheist want to deceive themselves then they will come up with absurdity like Atheism isn't a belief.

Last time I checked the meaning of Atheism this is what I got

atheism
/ˈeɪθɪɪz(ə)m/
noun
noun: atheism

disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

synonyms: non-belief, non-theism, disbelief, unbelief, scepticism, doubt, agnosticism, irreligion, godlessness, ungodliness, profaneness, impiety, heresy, apostasy, paganism, heathenism, freethinking, nihilism

"atheism is virtually unknown in rural societies"


But Nairaland Atheists always console themselves with such statement.

See pure day lie you mean didn't quote anybody before your post was quoted by me? People can lie sha

Oh. The andyboi guy. Your definition says that's it's a disbelief or lack of belief. How is this then a belief?... I honestly do not get the reason for your rant. Is Nairaland a rural society?

Go and do research on the conditions that motivated their actions to devastate their built dreams and enterprise. They did not stop their companies because they intentionally wants to but because of some uncontrollable circumstances that their dreams accompanied (such as lack of intellectual capital and other resources).

You won't close your shop simply because you have more money but because you ran out of capital.

Sane business magnates take responsibilities for the consequences of their actions by accepting the blame and not like your god whose pride won't let him do.

That is a fact cuz everyone else can see.

The above is a scientific prediction based on hypothesis that has been verified.

As a good science student, you don't have to carry out pen & book and start counting from street to street the number of organizations that has been down as well as the cause of their downfall. You should instead initiate the scientific method of predicting events and by using some statistics as well.

But you can surf the net to know more about that cuz as for me, am out of the game.
