....than the Flying Spaghetti Monster (pbuh) ?
Both are created by humans, embellished by other humans, and ultimately carry the same claim on our "faith"

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is just as credible, and sounds alot more fun. But they still wont teach about him in Kansas

As an atheist let me first say that there is no difference really between the Christian God and the Muslim God, Except the main one of course which is that the Christians think that their God came to earth as in disguise as his own Son.
Now having got that out of the way , Could I just have a word about the Flying Spaghetti Monster(pbuh)!
You ask about 'credibility' how could you stoop so low, to doubt the proof?
Did you ever read the actual message from FSM (pbuh) left on a remote mountain top in Italy only 200 years ago?
I was written by his Prophet (the last Prophet) who you may recall was named Heinz (pbuh)
FSM (pbuh) clearly stated on the back of this label, "Who so ever taketh my name in vain shall die by choking on a very long length of Spaghetti" I suggest you read it up, it's in Book two under 'Tomato Sauce' I suggest you read it and take notes.
And blasphem no more, peace be unto you also, may you repent your ways! It's never too late my Son!!

Great question!
No god is 'credible'. They aren't real. Bibles, Torahs, etc. are the words of man, about a creator that he imagines to be. When studying religion, you must remember there are many religions, not just these two...
"there are 19 major world religions which are subdivided into a total of 270 large religious groups, and many smaller ones. 34,000 separate Christian groups have been identified in the world. "Over half of them are independent churches that are not interested in linking with the big denominations."
Even this information is incomplete. The links below can show you some of this information.
But as for which religion is more credible, I say neither. There is no basis by which to rate them. Religion is not in competition.For those of you are having trouble making up your own mind about who sounds right, I would suggest you should study ALL religions. Basically, they are all the same, with varying rituals and lessons.
I have studied religion for 30 years.
A good book is 'The Religions of Man" By Huston Smith (1965)

Unfortunately religion relies on people not being able to provide a definitive answer to this question. Religion relies on keeping people ignorant and satisfied with circular logic so they don't ask difficult questions or think too much. Forums like these expose that flaw. The only answers you'll get from Christians here will cite the bible as their source. If asked, "why should we take what is says in the bible for granted?" they'll say that the bible says it is inerrant so it must be. Circular logic, can't argue with it. Christians point out that's why it must be right. Atheists can only roll their eyes.

I prefer Pan Kua, the mythical monkey that created the Universe when he broke out of it's egg.
Your Flying Spaghetti Monster is like more in league with Bananaman.
I'm a crevolutionist, believing a bit of everything. Especially that what science can't prove cause they can't disprove it either :-)
As for the god of the Christians and the Muslims ...? I prefer monkeys anyday of the week.

I am quite interested in this spaghetti monster concept. Is it male or female or hermaphrodite? Is it one strand of spaghetti or several and if so how many strands? Can it be any strand to any one or is there a definitive amount? Also is it cooked or precooked spaghetti? And if cooked is it al dente or well done? What happens to the spaghetti monster when you eat some other spaghetti? Does it feel it like loss or pain? IS this spaghetti we are talking about a la carbonara or bolognese or even e vongole or alio peperoncini e olio? Is it durum wheat spaghetti?

christians have their own god so as muslims coz if you can go into the bible refer what happenned to ishnael and isaac so what i believe is that these gods started with this generation of ishmael and isaac meaning christians are from isaac and muslims are from ishmael and muslims will be running away all the time because of what happened that time am not saying christians are better though they are the worst curlprits on this one by being cruel to ishmael shows that they lacked christianity as well so the god of muslims is the true one because they dont believe in revenge and they chose to stay away from the cristians avoiding fighting. and these wars we are seeing today are those ones that should have happened long time ago so its like todays man is paying for all those things that happenned in the past

Hey, I am a Muslim.
I have a lecture for everyone who wants proof of Almighty God. It is by the brilliant Muslim scholar, Dr. Zakir Naik. He proves Almighty God’s existence by using some of the many scientific verses in the Qur’an. Scientists are recently discovering these facts, but they were already in the Qur’an 1400 years ago! Please listen to the lecture. It is worth your time.

If you want to know why Muslims call God as Allah then watch this lecture by Dr. Zakir Naik.

Muslims believe there is only one Almighty God and no partners associated with Him. When I say no partners associated with Him, I mean we believe Almighty God has no mother, father, or begotten son.

Everyone needs something to cling to.
If you want to cling to the hope that if you are good in this life then you will go to Flying Spaghetti Monster Heaven, then that's up to you. Think i would prefer to go where the Christians or Muslims go when they die.

kidding is necessary in our life but would you like jokes which turn you in the hellfire for millions of years
i don`t think so
lets have an agreement
the universe was created by only one creator this why we notice the accuracy of the creation
this creator is the god of all we must worship him and believe in him
about
the Muslims they called the god Allah in Arabic
if Allah no more credible the whole of universe will be no more credible too
but it is not true Allah exist so the creation (universe) of him still exist too
