Who'd Satan kill?
I thought someone would never ask! Satan only killed 10 people: the seven sons and three daughters of Job. And he only did this because god allowed it as part of a bet!. Technically the blood is on god's hands for these as well. Just as well god doesn't exist, because he's a vicious, malignant bastard.
Didn't Satan kill Adam, too?
"On the Day you eat of the fruit, you shall (later addition: Spiritually) die."
He talked Woman into getting Adam to eat the fruit, and ON THAT DAY he (spiritually) died.
Why 'either?' In our court system, the hit man who pulled the trigger AND the guy that hired the hit man both get nailed for the death.Either the guy who took the action is to blame or the guy who instigated him taking the action is to blame.

The Genesis jury would certainly find that Satan acted upon his own initiative and instigated two minors to go out and get themselves (spiritually) deaded.
While with Job, God should at least be guilty of conspiracy to commit a murder.
And with omniscience, he's clearly guilty of knowledge well before the fact of each death, and with omnipotence, his non-action in the face of every death would make it negligent manslaughter at best.
Yeah, but i was responding to your post, where you used 'blame' four times.But this thread is about who did the actual killing, not who was involved in a conspiracy.

If we're talking 'blame,' then people who stand by and don't stop the killing are just as guilty as the guy with blood on his hands.

Also, the god in the Old Testament is about as far away from omniscient as a deity can be.
Also, I'm sure most of us reading this already know this but, it is a fairly recent fad to associate the serpent in Genesis with Satan. The Books really give no indication these two characters are the same except that the Serpent lies to Adam and Eve ...
