There is plenty of evil in “the Good Book,” but here are some highlights:

1. God drowns the whole earth.
In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people.
In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.

5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks.
In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

9. God burns two cities to death.
In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot’s wife for looking back at her burning home.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

12. 3,000 crushed to death.
In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.

13. A concubine raped and dismembered.
In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly master’s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

14. Child sacrifice.
In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.

15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet.
In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods.
In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point.
In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow.
In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

19. God threatens forced cannibalism.
In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.

20. The coming slaughter.
According to Revelation 9:7-19, God’s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth’s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.

Now, Christians have spent thousands of years coming up with excuses for a loving god that would allow or create such evil. In fact, they’ve come up with 12 basic responses, which are the subject of The Tale of the Twelve Officers.

Story of naija independence is also an evil story

Wow, God sounds more evil than Satan.. Lol

musKeeto: Wow, God sounds more evil than Satan.. Lol

Through out the bible its always god that is killing, maiming, making people to tell lies, encouraging people to enslave each other, rapeeeeee each other, steal from each other, loot and pillage each others lives according to the stories written in the bible. . .I have never read that satan killed any one directly in the bible. . .

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!!

2 Samuel 24:1-17
God gets angry, he makes David take a census of Israel and Judah and then he decides to punish David for what he made David do. He gives David three options to choose from.
* 7 years of famine
* 3 months of fleeing from enemies
* 3 days of plague

David chooses 3 days of plague and the next day God sends the plague and 70,000 people die. The angel is about to strike more people when God suddenly realises that he had done a bad thing, he grieves for the calamity and stops the angel from afflicting more people.

There are many things wrong with this bible chapter and up till now, I haven't gotten a reasonable explanation for God's supposed actions in that chapter.

Now comparing 2 Samuel 24 with 1 Chronicles 21.
It's still the same account of the same event but the following differences can be found there
* Satan is the one that makes David to take the census

and

* instead of 7 years of famine, here it is recorded as 3 years of famine.

^^^NO REASONABLE PERSON WILL TAKE THE BIBLE SERIOUSLY

Later they say he his a God of LOVE. Or am i getting something wrong?

Na wa o. Even if you don't believe in the Bible, you don't have to ridicule God.... Haba!

^^^are you kidding, we are not ridiculing god, we are exposing your evil god according to his holy book

You cannot understand the ways of the lord and that is why the bible verses are confusing you.
Anytime you want to read the bible, you need to ask the holy spirit to guide your knowledge and direct your brain to the right track so that you will fully grasp the message that the bible is trying to pass.

You people should stop committing blasphemy.
Those verses of the bible are not evil, they don't prove that god is evil and you will all end up in hell if you don't cease and desist from saying these unholy things about yahweh's book.

You want proof?
Ok, look around you. See how perfect the world is? The sun and moon are in perfect orbit, if there was even 1cm difference between them then life on earth will be impossible.
That shows that God created the world.

is that why earth quakes, hurricanes, floods etc destroys life?. you know what nature proves? that the devil made the world not god.

Look at it this way:

Your God is a wonderful God. He is mighty and intelligent. He kills and destroys those who disobey him. He can be jealous and he can get angry. He sometimes regrets his actions

Isn't this enough evidence to show you that your God has a Creator who designed him that way?

No. God does these things to test our faith.

The ways of the lord are not the ways of man. We cannot understand him because he is greater than us and reasons in a greater manner than human beings.
Therefore we cannot understand his ways, stop trying to use human reasoning to explain the bible

*clears throat* @op, when God Kills, it is not murder. HE is too BIG to be subject to the laws by which men are governed. GOD is just in HIS actions.

your god uses death to test our faith? what result does he get after earthquake kills people?

if natural disasters have killed someone you know, you wouldn't have uttered such rubbish.

none of those "atrocities" were done by God.. all those acts were done by people-low level intelligent beings- and attributing it to God.. people did and still do all kinds of "evil" things in the name of God-doesn't mean God actually asked them to..
