I could never understand why the devil got all the hate and portrayed as a bad guy. He's not the one who drowned all people and advocating for slavery..
What the hell were they doing before the flood, that god drowned them all, but then looked at milennia of slavery and thought "this isn't great, but I'll let it slide"?
Which era of slavery are you referring to? Because if you are referring to the Columbian exchange, then that was only around 350-400 years of history. Slavery in general has been around for millennia, yes, but the people of Noah were 1. Corrupt in blood, fornicating with fallen angels, 2. Sinful in every way, sodomy, fornication, murder, hatred, lying, stealing, in every man and woman. There is a difference between one institution that some rich people did (on a large scale, many would have a single servant but most slave owners were rich on large plantations).
the flood was to punish all the evil of the world, and then the reason he didnt flood the earth of evil again is because he made a promise to noah to not to ever gain, via the rainbow
Just look at the death counts. The numbers can vary based on version of the bible, interpretation, etc, but most come up with approximate numbers of 10 for Satan/The Devil and 2 to 2.5 million for Jehovah.
That depends quite significantly on interpretation. You could say that Satan is responsible for everyone who has died because of his role in introducing sin, and thus death.
You could also attribute every death to Jehovah because He is the one that gives life, and thus He takes it too. Everyone that dies, whether it is by murder, manslaughter, or even old age could be listed as under the 'death count' of either, or both.
"Christ" is not Jesus' last name, and I don't think last names are given for the apostles or disciples. Probably more important: I don't think in 18 years of Catholic schooling that I once heard anyone call him "Pontius." It's always "Pontius Pilate."
The verse in John 8 that says "he that is without sin among you . . ." is not found in most ancient manuscripts and scholars regard it as a spurious text.
I did reasonably well, but I picked it all up from art, literature, or popular culture. I mean, regardless of whether or not one believes in it, from a literary point of view, I find the bible to be mind-numbingly boring. There was much better literature in Antiquity!

Nothing says hate quite like God's love.
