The judges may have completely different point of views which can end up completely different outcomes. The Quran is a different outcome from the word of god as Jews and Christians see it.
Let's not try that because it's completely wrong.
Christianity was built of Judaism, but only because The Torah is part of the Old Testament. When Jesus Christ came along, a close group of Jews believed that he was the Messiah (even though he never actually said "I'm the Messiah", his actions spoke much louder than words though). Of course, a lot of other Jews disagreed. So this guy, Christ, tells everyone to just believe in him and they'll be saved. Then he gets killed and rises from the dead three days later. He tells his close friends that he's the way and to go preach the word to the world. So post resurrection you've got this group of guys that believes he's the Messiah, and another group that still doesn't believe the Messiah has come. So they split and you have Christianity and Judaism. They both believe there is a God, they both believe there is a Messiah, yet one group is waiting for the second coming while the other group is still waiting for the first coming. The second group (Jews) also don't necessarily believe the Messiah will take human form because it's, to them, a lowly form that the Messiah wouldn't bother with.
Now, a couple hundred years after Christ comes, another guy named Muhammed comes and says that everything before is wrong. He claims that Jesus was nothing more than a Prophet and that everyone is to fight and die for Allah. He also says there'll be a bunch of virgins waiting for you in heaven once you die.
So let's make something perfectly clear. Aside from a few similarities in the Quran and the Bible, Islam is not built on Christianity. Where in Christianity does it say you should die fighting for God? It doesn't. Jesus died once for all of us, we don't need to fight that battle anymore. Where in Christianity does it mention virgins in heaven? It doesn't. There is no need or want for anything like that in heaven because it's pure happiness and joy.
Here's a perfect example of one of the similarities. In the Christian Bible (and the Torah), Abraham is told by God to take his son Isaac to Moriah to be sacrificed. On the third day he gets there (some of you may figure this out at this point). So he takes his son up to the spot where God said to go, ties him to a log that he's going to use for burning, and just as he's about to sacrifice his only son, an Angel of God stops him. He then finds a ram and sacrifices that in Isaac's place. This is essentially an early prophecy of Christ's death and resurrection. In God's eyes, Isaac was dead the moment he told Abraham where to go. Three days later, Isaac is resurrected by the power of God. Now, in Islam, this story is totally different. In Islam, Ibrahim is told where to go and then the devil tries to stop him three times but Ibrahim doesn't give up. He gets to the spot and proceeds to sacrifice his only son to Allah. THAT is what I mean by it not being the same god. The god I know would never do such a thing.
Sean, if you don't want to believe in God, that's fine. But if you really want to discuss how you believe that all three are wrong and that there is no God, you should at least study all three so you're not just making stuff up that sounds good to you but has absolutely no basis in fact. At least that way, you won't sound like a complete idiot.

God is just a sadistic ass hole IMO.
Thankfully your opinion doesn't mean much. Especially since, on one hand, you say it's safer to go with Satan, and on the other you question God's existence. Well, if Satan exists, then so does God. I'll take the winning side, thank you (that would be God for the idiots out there, he created everything after all).
