BAH! The Bible deathtoll is WAY higher than in the Koran.
50,070 1 Samuel 6:19
3,000 Exodus 32:26-28
24,000 Numbers 25:6-9
500,000 2 Chronicles 13:15-18
120,000 2 Chronicles 28:6-8
1,000,000 2 Chronicles 14:8-12
--------------
1.7 million in those 6 passages alone including such classics as 50,070 people killed by God for looking into the ark. Remember Sunday school? God killed the first born son in every house in Egypt because he was mad at Pharaoh. Sorry, I don't know the dead babies count.
The early Christians should have had the sense to not package the Old Testament with the New. They were probably afraid the book would appear too small without it.
