Ah, it feels great not being brainwashed.
I'm sure it does! But there are much more embarrassing arguments you would probably have made than this one
It seems pretty embarrassing to me. Even if it worked as an argument (which it obviously does not), it also seems more supportive of an incompetent, amoral god, than what the religionists want to conclude from it. If this is the best that god could do, he should go back to the drawing board and work out the details a lot better before creating anything.
