i'm not sure about his methodology, but the conclusions seem about right---
In a previous post, I counted the number of people that were killed by God in the Bible. I came up with 2,258,360, but that didn't include the many massacres for which no body count is given in the Bible. So, for the sake of completeness, I figured I ought to at least provide a list of God's un-named and un-numbered victims.

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
