The holy spook simply cannot be goalie.
Neither can Jesus. The ball might go right through his hands!

Are they also the same as Amon-Ra and Quetzalcoatl?

Christians worship a triune god and Muslims do not. It doesn't seem logically possible for god to be both triune and not triune, therefore these must be different gods. Still, if the stories about this one are the same as for Yahweh then both are equally evil.
Family portrait...


Actually I think the Christian triune god is kind of a sissy. He/they spend most of his/their time mincing around trying to talk people into worshipping them, but they don't want to impose on anyone so they respect your free will.

I don't speak or read Arabic, but I remember reading in "When Religion Becomes Evil" by Charles Kimball that "Allah" is Arabic for "God" rather than a proper name like "Jahweh." Kimball speaks Arabic and was a negotiator in Iran during the '79 - '80 hostage crisis.

My question is which god is more evil, Allah or Yahweh?

Yahweh will no doubt send you to a screaming hell if you believe in Allah. Does Allah do the same?
While the god of the OT is one sick despot, the idea of a hell being related to his creation is just blatant slander from jesus in the NT. Allah wins for being a far more hideous invention.
