Hmm... haven't read the Koran, so I don't know how much destruction Allah has caused.

Is the Christian God accountable for the death and destruction in the Old Testament? If so, that's a lot to be accountable for.

Of course. He's also responsible for all of the death that occured during the Crusades, abortion clinic bombings, ect.

Actually those deeds were done by people.

People who claim He ordered them to do it.

That's all fine and good, but the fact is that they performed the acts, not a fictional character.

I don't credit the Scotland Yard with the cases that Sherlock Holmes solved.

Yahweh killed every living thing on the planet, save 8 humans and a boat-full of yaks and crocodiles and mosquitos. Unless Allah once wiped out a populated solar system, I think the winner is clear.

But there weren't that many people at the time of the flood. Which false god's followers is responsible for the greater number of deaths, and the larger amount of property damage?

Which begins to make you wonder what fictional character has the highest body count.

Dark Phoenix took out a few billion. Of course she also saved the entire universe from blinking out of existence, though, so she's not all bad.

That's pretty pathetic to try to shift the blame on to God for other peoples evils.
