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.

The author should recalibrate his human death calculator a bit in light of one certain Russian lady (Valentina) in the mid 1700s who according to the Guinness Book of World Records gave birth to 69 children, 67 of which reached adulthood. If a woman in the 1700s when the mortality rate was exceptionally high can have 69 children, we can only speculate what women during earth's early years could have produced as it's safe to assume they were even more fertile and producing children even when they were several hundreds of years old. AIG estimates the death toll near 4 Billion!!
Why is is that in art, wicked people and angels are usually shown naked? One would think the artists had some problem in that area.
The "Nature" of god, in this case Yahweh, son of Asherah, depends on who is writing the mythology. Yahweh was a Canaanite deity which the Hebrews adopted as the chief deity who was the god of war and weapon making. He was a minor god invoked only in the case of national emergency.
15:12 there was a world flood geologists have already affirmed this. The Dryas something event. It happened, multiple times. Vishnu of the ten waters.
