I've tried to use the same standard for the killings in the Book of Mormon as I did for the Bible in Drunk With Blood. But there are probably some that shouldn't be on the list, and others that should be. Let me know what you think.
In future posts, I'll try to tell the stories for each of the BoM killings. Heck, maybe there'll even be a Drunk With Blood: The Book of Mormon edition.

Thanks, Autumn, for the corrections on the totals. I see my mistake now. I put 2 million in the wrong column!
Not only did he kill tons of people.. looks like his good credit history is not recognized!

Steve - I can't help but notice that you are really upset that God kills so many. I am sure you feel that a good God would not kill so many. The problem is with the origination of sin when Satan mixed with man. God has been cleansing and sifting His crop ever since. His first major cleaning was when He flooded the world. He continues through time. God made us and it is His will to exalt or destroy. He is killing off sin. Sorry you think he is killing good-hearted people.
You don't think there were any "good-hearted people" on Earth at the time of the "Flood"? How about the unborn children... were they touched by "sin"?
We know, thanks to science, that there never was one "Adam" and one "Eve" from whom we all descended. Therefore there was no "original sin", and the whole basis of the need for "forgiveness" evaporates.
Besides, an omniscient deity who (supposedly) created these first humans knowing that they would disobey, then punish not only them but all the descendants they would ever have would have to be a major-league asshole, don't you think?

Steve - what the science stuff is right. God made Adam and Eve and they were perfect. The only problem was they did not have free will. The apple represents satan and the introduction of satan with His DNA. Eves first child after "eating the apple" was having a child with satan. Cane was born and God never accepted offerings from him. Satan was a murderer and populated the world. He introduced the world of sin to the world but at the same time - he offered free will. God is simply using satan. Over time he will sift the bad DNA of satan and will eventually find the only part He was looking for. That is free will to love God. We are given a choice. Remember - satan was originally Gods most beautiful angel. God is simply taking the best of what satan had in his DNA and will burn the rest. At the time of Noah - all the DNA that He needed for his ultimate purpose was inside Noah and his children. Everything and everyone else was not needed for His ultimate design. If you think that makes God mean or bad then you are not the one who created us and do not know His plans. I'm cool with it. Each year we seem to get better and nicer. 2000 years ago we feed people to lions. 200 years ago - we slaved our neighbors. But - I think we are getting better.
You're just making shit up. And "Cane" is a kind of sugar.
