Some read one thing, some another...

"The notion that a unique all-powerful God, who created the whole universe including millions of stars and perhaps thousands of intelligent life-forms, should rely on getting His message to all those creatures through a series of disjointed, repetitive and sometimes contradictory messages confided to a minor merchant by an angel in a cave in the Arabian desert is just as absurd as the Christian theory that such a God would try to "save" the said universe and life-forms (from what?) by sending a mysterious "Spirit" that both was really Him and wasn't really Him to impregnate a Jewish woman in Palestine, thus producing a Son who was also not really Him but at the same time really Him, who would be executed in a very painful manner, thus saving everyone.

On any objective viewing, both claims are laughable.

Thanks to Jesper :)
