3. Xians, Jews and Muslims are united in their beliefs in incoherent, inconsistent gods

The god of the Torah is a mass murderer for amazingly petty reasons, but "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."

The New Testament flatly contradicts the Torah. It just can't be the same god. But the NT adds in some nonsense of its own because how could something be a religion without its own, original crap?

Then the Quran manages to try to blend all these irreconcilable differences while adding some flagrant contradictions of its own (owing to the fact that good ol' muhamad was making thing up as he went)

Anyone trying to claim this is one coherent, same god is on some kind of drugs so strong it should be tested to power space rocket launches.
