The Legends of History | God's Kill Count In Genesis @thelegendsofhistory | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Not for the first time have I seen The Old Testament God described as a God with a ‘dark side’. He is after all responsible for floods, plagues, famines and sometimes just outright genocide. However, according to traditional believers, it’s not so much the case that the Old Testament God is ‘trigger happy’ but that this more violent side is just another part of God, who like us, is multifaceted. Stephen Fry refers to God as ‘mean-minded’, ‘monstrous’ and even as a ‘maniac’ - blasphemous words indeed, but ones that do reflect the opinion those might have on a deity that destroys cities, spreads famine and diseases and at one point drowns the entire world. However, if we were to consult with the traditional believer, they might say that these actions are justified and that these acts are not ‘random vindictiveness’, but rather punishments owed to those who have done wrong.
On that note, in today’s episode, we’ll be analysing each and every time God snuffs someone out of existence and hopefully, we’ll have a more informed sense of what God’s final kill count looks like by the end of Genesis.
