So, statements such as yours above are just laughable.
He also did a fair amount of killing himself so much so that he made Satan look like a straight up chump in the old testament!

Add the toll due to "end times" and the number sky-rockets.

If you add in the flood where Noah build his Ark God's genocidal streak goes up to 32 million!

I'm not implying that at all. I think its all a made up fairy tale used as mind control. Those are the rules set forth by the church that were supposedly presented on a mountain top by god....who is also jesus because they are the same but never mind that part its to fairy tale like

You failed to convince me. If an innocent child is killed by gun shots how is it not murder? Are you saying if an innocent child is accidently hit by a stray bullet in a gang gun fight that is not murder?

I wouldn't call a unintended casualty murder per say because it wasn't on purpose however it is another reason why war should be thought out seriously and why saying righteousness is on your side for going to war should be humble. Carpet bombing a civilian city is a grey area as far as casualties, every nation and people on Earth have blood on their hands that way. It might have been effective at defeating a enemy but still....

Some have stated God kills also and used a graph to demonstrate statistics, so it is alright to do so among man. Maybe, maybe not it depends on personal view but I wouldn't assume that, just like instead of using a graph to justify using select biblical quote to justify. And also I wouldn't use biblical quotes of wisdom on a weapon or weapon part to justify or try to convince oneself that they are in good grace. I think only the almighty can judge or determine righteousness.

Manslaughter maybe, but not murder.

Default Defense contractor to remove Bible references

A Michigan company that manufactures combat rifle sights for the U.S. military that carry Bible verse citations said Thursday it would send kits to remove the inscriptions, NBC reported.

Trijicon Inc. also said it would take off Biblical references from all U.S. military products that are still in the company's factory and ensure future items do not have any inscriptions on them.

Good. We shouldn't have Biblical references on our military weapons.
