How many people did God kill in the Bible?
There's just no way to count them all. But sometimes the Bible tells us exactly how many were killed by God
God in the Bible himself claims to have killed A total of 2,270,369 people (not inlcuding in some cases, women & children). The same count was done for the Qu'ran & the same athiest website found a total of 4 people
